Dear League Members and Friends,

As we welcome the crisp air of autumn, I’m reminded of the importance of staying engaged and active in our communities, particularly as we approach another critical election season. It’s an exciting time for our League, as we continue to advance our mission to empower voters and defend democracy.

“Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part.”John Lewis, U.S. Congressman and Civil Rights Leader
