League of Women Voters ^®
of Dearborn-Dearborn Heights

LWVUS sent a memo to members of the US House asking them to cosponsor H.Res. 891, a resolution which would affirm the validity of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

COVID-19 brought pain, loss, and loneliness, but in the case of our democracy, it also brought important lessons. We saw firsthand how we could make our democracy available to more voters, honoring the voices of low-income, BIPOC, disabled, and other Americans. We must build on this knowledge and not waste it or use it to restrict the voter further.

Voters with disabilities have the right to vote privately and independently or to get help casting their ballots.

Many of the League of Women Voters’ legislative campaigns take years to pass Congress. One exception was the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in 2006.
