More than 50 years after the Voting Rights Act passed, full protections for voting rights are not guaranteed. Some people still face challenges participating in elections due income, health, age, race, disability, and gender. Tell Congress to guarantee the right to vote.

One for the history books. In October a federal court granted the League’s motion to permanently block an executive order that would more likely suppress voters than protect elections. This was a win for democracy. We fight on nationwide. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

“The League is outraged by the politicization of redistricting and manipulation of voters as political pawns... a dangerous tolerance for authoritarian tactics in how political power is drawn and justified.” bit.ly/3MiAPJU @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvtexas.bsky.social

Time to look back and reflect in holiday warmth. Yes. Then time to look beyond. Threats to our democracy loom into the new year. Gerrymandered maps. Voting Rights on the line. Birthright citizenship challenged. Reflect. Yes. Then Unite & Rise with us. www.lwv.org/blog/5-major...

Fourteen states have now been sued by DOJ demanding access to sensitive voter information. No case has yet succeeded. The League of women voters strongly opposes these DOJ actions & will always work to protect voters’ privacy so Americans can cast votes free from intimidation. @lwvus.bsky.social

Many people still face disproportionate challenges to participate in elections due to factors including health, age, race, and gender. Our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard. We strongly advocate measures to make voting more accessible—not less. www.lwv.org/voting-right...

In 2013, the US Supreme Court removed key protections of the Voting Rights Act in the decision of Shelby v. Holder. Since then, a surge of anti-voter bills have swept across our nation– with many being legalized. The League will not stand for this. We fight suppression. www.lwv.org/voting-right...

Thanksgiving Weekend Reflection. The Children’s Fundamental Rights & Climate Recovery Resolution is stalled. Fossil fuels, greenhouse gases, climate science suppression all have a disproportionate impact on our youth. Join one of our 700+ state and local Leagues. Engage. www.lwv.org/other-issues...

Thanksgiving Weekend Reflection. We are winning in the courts — from challenging unlawful federal overreach to protecting Arkansans’ right to direct democracy in. We are registering voters, defending voting rights & fighting disinformation in every community. We won’t give up. @lwvus.bsky.social

We went to court in April. On the last day of October, a federal court issued a decisive ruling in our favor. The President lacks authority to unilaterally alter election procedures—powers that rest with Congress and the states. When we fight, we win. Follow us. Join us. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

In Oregon, the state League, Brennan Center, Campaign Legal Center & ACLU have filed a “friend of the court” brief in “United States v. Oregon.” All are united against the government’s illegal collection of private data for illegitimate uses. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvor.bsky.social

Every voting rights victory counts. Every voter counts. Last Friday, a federal district court in NH ruled in our favor against a defendant who orchestrated & paid for robocalls that used AI to deceive & intimidate voters in the 2024 primary election. Details: bit.ly/43OtzLL @lwvus.bsky.social
