Support Women's Equality Now

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in August 2023.

Action Alerts

More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, women in the US continue to face inequities based on sex and gender. Despite the significant advances made in recent decades, there have also been enormous roadblocks to progress and devastating steps backward. Please add your name to this petition urging Congress to protect women’s rights to vote, ensure that the ERA is added to the Constitution, and restore reproductive freedom for all.

Action Alerts

Voting is a fundamental right, and all Americans deserve an equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy.

Increased accessibility to the electoral process ensures that every eligible voter can exercise their right to vote. Congress must know how the people feel: empowering eligible voters to cast their ballot strengthens our democracy.

Please add your name to show Congress that we support voting rights!

Action Alert - League of Women Voters (Protestors with US flag)

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in June 2023.

Action Alerts

The history of voting rights is largely one of bipartisan cooperation. We'd like to see the introduction of bipartisan legislation that includes expanding early voting, allowing no-excuse absentee voting, implementing automatic and online voter registration, improving operations of the Election Assistance Commission, improving language access, and ensuring proper voter list maintenance.

Tell Democrats and Republicans to work together on voting rights.

Act now! We anticipate a vote on CAMPAIGN FINANCE OMNIBUS BILL by Saturday night. Connecticut’s Citizens Election Program is a voluntary program which provides clean elections financing to qualified candidates for statewide offices and the General Assembly. The existing text of the bill contains one extremely problematic provision that would place any online expenditures beyond the reach of the CEP program. Contact your Senator and let them know we cannot let that happen.

Senate Bill 6667 provides much needed legislation to enhance the safety of our communities. Please send an email to the Judiciary Committee in support of this bill with an added provision to prohibit fire arms at polling locations. Voters need to be able to exercise the right to vote without fear of violence or threat. The committee must release its Joint Favorable report on any bills they want to be considered by the full house and senate by March 31st, so we must act quickly to let them know we want these bills moved forward.

More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, people in the United States are still not constitutionally guaranteed equality on the basis of sex. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) will update the US Constitution to protect the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex.

Tell your representatives they must ensure that the ERA is published.
