#DYK that more than 24 million people get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces? People can purchase health coverage & apply for financial assistance to afford their coverage. Call your members of Congress & demand affordable health care for all. https://bit.ly/4aNQbA9

Last week, I had the honor of participating on a panel at the @ncnwhq.bsky.social 90th anniversary celebration. I joined @leahdaughtry.bsky.social, Sherrilyn Ifill, & @shavonab.bsky.social on stage for a discussion about what we can learn from the 2025 election & carry with us into 2026.

#BillofRightsDay is a day to reflect on one of the most foundational documents in American history. The first 10 amendments to the US Constitution outline essential liberties and protections that continue to shape American democracy and civil life. Liberties we must protect. https://bit.ly/4rSDrOT

We continue to stand with our local Leagues and members, strongly opposing the deployment of ICE agents in any city across the country — most recently in Minneapolis and St. Paul. https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-women-voters-minnesota-opposes-ice-deployment-minneapolis-and-st

In this period of turbulence and unpredictability, where many feel a growing sense of insecurity, disaffection, and alienation, I want to take a minute to honor Human Rights Day. Today reminds us that dignity, equality, and freedom belong to everyone — no exceptions. https://bit.ly/33TeJSc

Last week, the US Supreme Court sent a message that the interests of politicians matter more than those of the people. This is unacceptable. #ICYMI the Court granted Texas’ request, allowing them to keep new gerrymandered maps in place for the 2026 congressional election. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat—&in doing so, she moved a nation. Seventy years later, her quiet courage reminds us that ordinary people, standing firm, make extraordinary change. The fight for justice isn’t over.

On the heels of our lawsuit, I collaborated with HeadCount executive director Lucille Wenegieme to share the value of nonpartisan third-party voter registration in light of restrictions that prohibit nonpartisan groups from registering voters & naturalization ceremonies. thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Happy Thanksgiving! Today I am grateful for family, friends, and the communities that stand together. I’m also thankful for the privilege to fight for our democracy — one that is strengthened each time we show up, listen, and participate. May gratitude guide our choices and hopes for the future.

#ICYMI: Last week, the US District Court for the Western District of Arkansas ruled to protect voters' right to ballot intiatives in @lawv-arkansas.bsky.social & Save AR Democracy (SARD) and keeps decision-making where it belongs: with voters! This is a huge win for democracy!

Our litigation team has been busy the past few weeks, just yesterday @lwvor.bsky.social filed an amicus brief opposing the United States Department of Justice’s lawsuit demanding disclosure of private voter data in Oregon. Learn more: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

#GivingTuesday is coming fast! I hope you’ll take advantage of a special opportunity to DOUBLE your impact to keep America strong, fair & free. Our democracy is facing relentless attacks: efforts to strip away mail-in voting options & more. Help us fight back:

Voting is a fundamental principle, and all Americans deserve the equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy. Last week — with voting rights under attack — voters in Maine showed up BIG to defend that right in their state and protect democracy.

Honoring all who've served our nation with courage and commitment. My dad spent 20 spent 20 years in the Air Force -- his service, and that of so many others, inspires me to keep defending democracy every day. 💙

Today marks the first day of #COP30 in Brazil! Representatives from @lwvus.bsky.social will be in attendance all week, learning how we as citizens can better protect our planet from #climatechange. @cop30brazil.bsky.social #COP30noBrasil

Today, we are announcing the formation of the Unite & Rise 8.5 Advisory Committee, a diverse group of leaders from business, faith, academic and tech sectors who will provide strategic counsel & elevate the campaign’s mission to protect through partnership. ➡️ www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Last month, we brought together elected officials from across the country to speak on the urgent need to protect our democracy in today's political climate. We also got to hear from a few elected officials about their involvement with the League, check it out: www.facebook.com/reel/1384508...

As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, we must note that there is still the huge issue of gender inequality within an institution designed to defend human rights and promote peace, security, and sustainable development around the world: www.lwv.org/blog/when-wo...

Today marks the longest government shutdown in US history and both sides of the aisle are feeling the effects. While politicians play games, real people are suffering. Families can’t put food on the table. Critical services are grinding to a halt. LWV calls on Congress: END THE SHUTDOWN NOW.

Today is #ElectionDay! Politicians make decisions about access to resources & gov support that impacts our daily lives. This has been underscored by the government shutdown. Find out where you can vote in person, what voting machines are used, & what you need to bring with you on VOTE411.org!

Today is #ElectionHeroDay! Thank you to everyone who works tirelessly to ensure a safe, secure voting experience for all eligible voters. One way you can get involved in keeping our elections fair & accessible is by serving as an election worker. Learn more: www.lwv.org/blog/being-e...

That statement is demonstrably false. When government officials deny documented reality, they erode public trust and undermine accountability. LWV believes in transparency, facts, and the constitutional rights of ALL Americans. US citizens deserve the truth — and they deserve better.

#ICYMI: Last week, @lwvc.bsky.social filed a motion in federal court to intervene in USA v. Weber, the US Department of Justice’s case against the CA Secretary of State, to protect the data of all CA voters & prevent misuse of that data. Learn more: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

ICYMI: I joined Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush to discuss how the League’s work has evolved over the past 105 years. Listen to the full episode: www.interfaithalliance.org/post/league-... @interfaithalliance.org

Last week, the Supreme Court listened to arguments in the Louisiana v. Callais case for 2.5 hours! A weakening of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act would lead to a return of discrimination in redistricting. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN! Learn more:

Today is the LAST DAY to submit comments about why Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC) is bad for American elections! Nearly half of Americans don't have a passport which could be required to vote. ➡️ www.lwv.org/take-action

HAPPENING TOMORROW: In America, we decide, not dictators. Join the movement – find a protest near you!

This week on The State of Belief: Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social is joined by @thecelinafactor.bsky.social, CEO of @lwvus.bsky.social!

Have you been following @lwvus.bsky.social’s Unite & Rise 8.5 initiative? We are building a movement of 8.5 million individuals to fight back against the anti-democratic actions of the current administration. Join us as we defend democracy! act.lwv.org/page/84217/p...

A year has passed since I became CEO of @lwvus.bsky.social -- and what a year it's been. I reflect on my favorite moments and the vision we're following to save our democracy. www.lwv.org/blog/one-yea...

Texas Voters! Share your story of how this redistricting scheme will impact you or your community. Make the record clear that Texans don't want to be picked by politicians; they want the freedom to elect their own leaders.

Working on some exciting Unite and Rise content with @lwvus.bsky.social and @chenoweth.bsky.social -- can't wait to share it with you!

What an incredible experience speaking about voting rights and Unite and Rise 8.5 initiative to defend democracy at @chq1874.bsky.social! Thank you to everyone who attended this lecture. Let's unite and rise! chqdaily.com/2025/07/lowv...

At the storied @chq1874.bsky.social in upstate New York- looking forward to @thecelinafactor.bsky.social ‘s speech as we kick off the week on the rise of global authoritarianism. Glad the @lwvus.bsky.social could be a part of this event.

Bad actors would have us reverse decades of hard-won civil rights victories, increasing discrimination at the ballot box. We need the JLVRAA to stop them

Attacks on the media — be it public media or late-night talk shows — are attempts to erase our shared stories and cherry-pick which ones get told. This is inherently antidemocratic and unacceptable.

This latest poll makes one thing clear: Americans are sounding the alarm on the state of our democracy—and they’re right to be worried. LWV knows democracy only works when people believe their voices matter and their votes count. This isn’t partisan—it’s foundational.  www.npr.org/2025/07/01/n...

I recently co-authored a piece with @cohen489.bsky.social urging women lawyers to rise in upholding the values of the legal profession during this pivotal time in our country. Democracy is depending on us. www.law.com/nationallawj...

SCOTUS just green-lit book bans in schools across the country under the guise of freedom of religion. Our schools should be a place of acceptance and respect, not fear-mongering about the LGBTQIA+ community. Unacceptable. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

Absolutely horrible decision that is inconsistent with all our precedent. SCOTUS is preventing federal courts from doing their jobs to allow the Trump Administration to overstep his authority and trample on our constitution.

This is ridiculous and completely inconsistent. How can someone be recognized as a citizen in one state, but not in another? This decision is an attack on the rule of law and prevents our federal courts from performing their constitutionally required duty. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Let’s get real: SCOTUS is allowing a state to defund Planned Parenthood without any way for our most vulnerable to access the court system to fight for lifesaving healthcare. Shame on them, and shame on any legislator who seeks to deny their constituents care. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

Donald Trump ran on an anti-war platform. By striking Iran, he endangers Americans abroad and US service members. This escalation without congressional approval puts the US into another war that the majority of Americans oppose. It is another sign of this administration’s authoritarian tendencies.

Today's Skrmetti decision ignores that everyone has a right to bodily autonomy. Parents and their children know what's best for their health—not the government. SCOTUS got it horribly wrong and the consequences will be dire. LWV stands with the transgender community. www.lwv.org/blog/trans-r...

The arrest of Brad Lander makes me sick to my stomach. The arrests and detainment of elected officials -- this time for simply asking for a warrant -- is a feature of this administration's policy.  We need to call it what it is. A direct attempt to intimidate anyone who disagrees with their policy.
