Illinois democracy depends on all of us. The League of Women Voters of Illinois is leading the fight for voting rights and truth — but our small staff and volunteers are stretched thin. Help us raise $100,000 so we can keep empowering voters statewide. www.lwvil.org/donate-campa...

Americans do not need MORE obstacles to vote. Tell your senators to oppose the SAVE Act. ➡️ lwv.org/take-action/tell-your-senators-oppose-save-act

This bill would especially burden military voters, older voters, rural voters, and the millions of married women who have changed their names.
