The League of Women Voters of Connecticut wishes everyone a happy Thanksgiving! As you share your meal today, we encourage you to also share open, civil dialogue with friends and family. A healthy democracy thrives on understanding and listening, even when we disagree.

Less than a year from the midterm elections, state and local voting officials from both major political parties are actively preparing for the possibility of interference by the Trump administration.

This is not good. The Constitution says states run elections, not the federal government. To election administrators in all states: stay strong and hold the line against any federal interference in your states’ elections.

Let’s take a break from the news and celebrate women who made a difference. Did you know that Margaret Bourke-White was the first foreign journalist permitted to take photographs inside the Soviet Union? Her fearless spirit and dedication to capturing history are an inspiration.

This is not good. Civics education should not be partisan. The good, the bad, and the ugly of our history matter. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/u...

So much for free speech… apnews.com/article/jimm...

As Constitution Day comes to a close, let’s not forget the importance of that document—it is the foundation of our democracy. “We the people” have the power.

We must come together and fight against any and all political violence.

A reminder that election certification law is already very clear: it's a mandatory legal duty, and county officials in Arizona (and across the country) have no discretion to refuse to certify final election results.

In our first episode, Celina chats with political scientist and author of "Bread and Roses: Women on the Frontlines of Revolution," Dr. Erica Chenoweth, on how today's organizers can learn from the past. Watch here: youtu.be/MHr21Scmzkk?...

August 26, marks the anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment. Today there are forces who want to take away women’s rights and keep us silent. Your vote is your voice—use it! WE WILL NOT GO BACK!

The administration is trying to make it difficult for eligible citizens to cast a ballot. Why? Because our votes DO matter. Time to stay vigilant and fight to protect our democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yup! Voting by mail is safe and secure. Election facts matter. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

"The League of Women Voters will not stand by while politicians spread lies to limit democratic participation. Our democracy is strong when every eligible voter can make their voice heard, whether at a polling place or through a mail-in ballot." www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

On this day in 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified. Btw? No one “gave” women the right to vote—women were jailed and tortured to win that right. We will never go back! 💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿

Let’s not forget—the war on women is very much alive in 2025. National League president Celina Stewart is quoted in this excellent article. We will not go back! www.glamour.com/story/why-we...

Voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around.

Today is Poll Worker Recruitment Day! Reach out to your local Registrar’s office to help with the upcoming elections. We need to make sure our polls - and our democracy - are accessible for everyone eligible citizen.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next. www.npr.org/2025/08/09/n...

This has nothing to do with crime in DC (which has dropped dramatically) and everything to do with seizing power. Nothing but crickets 🦗 from the other two co-equal branches of government… www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Sigh 😞 The Voting Rights Act turns 60 — but its promise is still under threat 19thnews.org/2025/08/voti... via @19thnews.org

Still think your vote doesn’t matter? Trying to control elections and who can vote is against everything our democracy stands for, we must fight against this executive overreach in every way possible. Stay strong! www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

As our country celebrates the Voting Rights Act’s 60th anniversary, Texas lawmakers should be making it easier to vote, not harder. bit.ly/3HeIMgV

Media literacy is essential when evaluating news in the era of AI and mis- and disinformation. How sharp are your skills? www.lwv.org/blog/quiz-te...

Good news! A victory for reproductive healthcare.

Let’s take a break from the noise and celebrate some incredible CT women who made a difference! Estelle Griswold's brave challenge to Connecticut's outdated birth control laws led to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Griswold v. Connecticut.
