Happy 250th Anniversary, America! 🇺🇸 This Independence Day, we celebrate 250 years of our nation's history and the ongoing work of strengthening our democracy. Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙 #America250 #Happy4th #LWVNC #LeagueOfWomenVoters #DemocracyInAction

Fifteen LWVNC members joined League leaders from across the country at the 57th Biennial League of Women Voters of the United States Nat'l Convention in Ohio last weekend to learn, share ideas & plan for the League's future. Our very own Mary Thompson received the Helping Hands Award.🎊🙌 #LWVCon26

📮USPS wants to hear from YOU! The USPS is accepting public comments on proposed ballot mail regulations. The League of Women Voters is concerned these changes could make it harder for voters to receive and return their ballots on time. READ MORE: www.lwv.org/take-action/... .

League of Women Voters of North Carolina President Jennifer Rubin joined advocates and election stakeholders to speak in opposition to House Bill 958, arguing the measure could further erode public trust in elections. Learn more in this WUNC report: www.wunc.org/politics/202...

LWVNC joined 29 nonpartisan organizations urging the NC State Board of Elections to restore access to printed voter registration forms for community registration drives. Community drives remain critical to expanding voter participation across North Carolina. drive.google.com/file/d/1O4No...

The @lwvus statement on Louisiana v. Callais raises important concerns about how voting rights protections are applied. Moments like this reinforce why our work matters. In North Carolina, we are committed to safeguarding access and ensuring every voice can be heard. mailchi.mp/lwvnc.org/sc...

Even when we couldn’t be in our home communities today, LWVNC Eastern Region members showed up. During our regional meeting, we used our lunch break to stand together for our democracy. #LWVNC #DemocracyInAction #NoKings

Not all heroes wear capes. Across North Carolina, election workers safeguard our democracy — from early voting to certification. Their work is nonpartisan and essential to free and fair elections. Thank you, Election Heroes. #ElectionHeroDay #Democracy #NCVotes #LWVNC #ncpol

The LWVUS strongly condemns escalating federal immigration enforcement actions that violate constitutional rights, suppress civic participation, and undermine democratic accountability. This is not public safety. It is repression. Full LWV statement: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... #Democracy #LWV

The League of Women Voters of North Carolina urges members, supporters, and the public to sign the "One Person, One Vote Petition" to move the country one step closer to adopting the National Popular Vote as a means to elect the president. (See link in bio.) #NPV #NCPol #LWVNC #LWV #OnePersonOneVote

Mid-cycle redistricting undermines voter confidence. When legislators redraw districts between censuses, it’s rarely about fairness—it’s about power—silencing communities, diluting voices, and destabilizing democracy. Link to NCGA public comment portal in bio. #FairMaps #LWV #ProtectTheVote

Want to make a difference? Join us for "We Have the Power!: Put Your Power Into Action"--a hybrid event from LWVNC, @commoncausenc.bsky.social and NC Second Chance Alliance. #WeThePeople #NCPol #DefendingDemocracy #CommonCauseNC #LWV mobilize.us/s/YG1xVC

The LWVNC returns to federal court Oct. 20 challenging Senate Bill 747's "undeliverable mail" provision — a rule that negate eligibility over something as simple as a returned piece of mail. Read more about the case and why it matters for voter access in North Carolina 👇 my.lwv.org/north-caroli...

🚫👑 No Kings. Not Now. Not Ever. On Oct. 18, rally against rising authoritarianism. LWV is a proud co-sponsor, and NC Leagues are encouraged to join events across the state. www.nokings.org In America, power belongs to the people. #NoKings #LWVUS #DefendDemocracy #WeThePeople #LWVNC

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering a rule that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote—an unnecessary barrier that hurts eligible voters. Comments close Oct. 20. Flood the portal. Make your voice heard. 👉 www.lwv.org/take-action/...

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...

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...

The Senate bill is a direct attack on millions who rely on Medicaid. It would rip health care away from children, families, and seniors, and people with disabilities. This isn’t just bad policy – it’s cruelty. The American people deserve better.

This is an ugly and dangerous bill that is bad for America. If they pass it, Congress will endanger the health of our country. Make your voice heard. #ncpol www.lwv.org/take-action/...

#USgov notified all states that it's withholding $6 billion+ of previously approved #federal #education #grants to #schools. These funds would have traditionally been disbursed on July 1st '25. It'll likely impact #school #districts' plans in fall '25. #NCpol #USpol www.npr.org/2025/07/01/n...

The Trump megabill (Senate version) would upend Medicaid expansion and healthcare funding in NC, which is the main reason Sen. Thom Tillis is opposing it. Here's how the cuts would likely play out: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol

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...

A group of North Carolinians, along with a coalition of nonpartisan voting and civil rights organizations that includes the League, are seeking to intervene in a federal lawsuit that wrongly challenges the eligibility of more than 200,000 voters. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... #ncpol

June local League newsletter is here! mailchi.mp/lwvnc.org/ju...

There are likely to be testimonies from legislators on Friday the 20th in Winston-Salem. The case is very much about racial gerrymandering, not political (partisan) gerrymandering. Turnout is pivotal – we need to show that people care! RSVP: www.mobilize.us/commoncause/... #ncpol

The trial is expected to last anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks, and there is a hope that there will be a strong community presence every day. #ncpol

🧵House Bill 127 is scheduled to be heard on Tuesday, June 3 at the General Assembly. It would make it a Class 2 Misdemeanor, possibly resulting in a jail sentence of up to 60 days, for people who are helping register voters using the official voter registration form.

In 2024, across the country, the League's impressive accomplishments include: 30+ million voter contacts; 9.38+ million voters protected through litigation; 9.19 million users provided with election info via VOTE411.org; and more! www.lwv.org/2024-electio...

NEW: In a 68-page ruling, Judge Myers said the NC Board of Elections should certify results based on the tally of all eligible votes. Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs would prevail in the race for the seat on the high court over Griffin. tinyurl.com/ysdu6fdu @lbonner.bsky.social #ncpol

BREAKING: U.S. District Court Judge Richard Myers orders the NC State Board of Elections to certify a 734-vote win for Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs and rejects all of Griffin's election protests. Judge stays order for one week so Griffin may appeal. #ncpol
