In response to the rollback of federal DEI initiatives, the League of Women Voters is joining a 24-hour ECONOMIC BLACKOUT tomorrow, February 28th. We urge everyone to avoid purchases from large corporations that are scaling back or eliminating their DEI programs. Instead, let's support our small and local businesses!
As an organization dedicated to empowering voters and defending democracy, the League of Women Voters of the United States has released the following statements in response to actions of the new administration in 2025.
LWVUS joined 118 organizations calling on Congress to investigate DOGE 's illegal activities. The letter demands that Congress investigate whether Elon Musk and the DOGE violated the law by accessing protected or classified information without authorization.
LWVUS and League chapters from all 50 states and DC sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to address the unprecedented executive branch overreach threatening American democracy.
On our 105th birthday, we stand united against attacks on democracy. Together, we are unshakable. Invest in the League to ensure our voice remains strong and our democracy endures.
Democracy faces uncertainty nationally, but in California, the League is taking action. This newsletter highlights ways to connect, learn, and engage, from local leaders to legislative updates. Together, we’ll build a democracy that works for all.
