Celina Stewart, chief executive officer of the League of Women Voters of the United States, wants Americans to be a flood of democracy against the fire of authoritarianism.

Today, LWV CEO Celina Stewart, Esq., issued the following statement about the League’s amicus brief filed in the US Supreme Court case, Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections.

On July 4th, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), a nearly 1,000-page bill that changes federal spending levels by stripping tens of millions of our most vulnerable neighbors of their health care and nutrition. 

The OBBB slashes vital programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest Americans. This blog looks at just some of the new law’s provisions.

LWV CEO Celina Stewart, Esq., issued the following statement in response to the Department of Justice’s actions to gather data on voters ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
