One of the most common ways to advocate for democracy is through street protests, but there are other strategies you may not have considered. The League of Women Voters' Unite & Rise 8.5 Initiative is an excellent resource to engage millions of voters in the effort to safeguard our democracy.

Thank you League Of Women Voters of NYS for recognizing our work at local naturalization ceremonies!

The vast majority of U.S. states allow voters to cast ballots early—in person or by mail. Only three states—Alabama, Mississippi, New Hampshire—do not offer these options. Voting restrictions are barriers to voter participation. Get registered. Get voting! Get started here: www.vote411.org

WHAT IS 8.5? 8.5 million is the number of voters it’ll take to bring about change through nonviolent protest and civil resistance. Exercise your patriotism with 8.5 million other patriots. Uphold the Constitution. Commit to act now: shorturl.at/dhiNR

August 26, otherwise known as Women's Equality Day, marks the anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted some women the right to vote. Yet today, women have fewer rights than they'd had in decades. To recognize this, we acknowledge Women's Inequality Day.

It’s worth remembering that the German Third Reich held a tight grip on art. Legitimate art was propaganda. All other was “degenerate” & removed from display. Parallels are apparent at cultural institutions. We share a complex history. It's under attack. Why? @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

LOCAL elections are more than just politics – they're about the issues that affect our lives & communities. Friday, we brought this message to students at Bard College.

This training, offered on Saturday, Sept 13, 11 AM at the Mescal Hornbeck Community Center in Woodstock, can be crucial in saving lives and minimizing the impact of disasters by empowering people to take appropriate actions until first responders arrive.

The first in the Hyde Park library's Know Your Local Government series was County Executive Sue Serino, who described the various roles & responsibilities inherent in her office & then took questions. Next up is County Comptroller Dan Aymar-Blair, scheduled to appear at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 25.

Our Southern Tier group gathered this past Friday at the Silk Factory in Newburgh for a great afternoon of food, connection, and conversation. These monthly meetings take place every third Friday, and we’d be thrilled to see you at the September gathering!

“The idea that women should surrender their vote to male authority is an affront to every American who has fought, marched, and bled for the right to be heard. When men make diminishing statements about women, it harms our autonomy and our safety.” - LWV CEO Celina Stewart
