This League at the Library event will take place on 3/9 from 1-3 pm at the Micanopy Branch Library and will be an inside event. We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to man the table.

During LWVAC's 2024 Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Campaign for the 2024 Election Season, the Voter Services team is organizing multiple Alachua County Library tabling events. The goal is to have a table at each of the 12 libraries once a month for 2 hours at peak times until November. We hope to increase League visibility and engage with current and potential voters, especially young people.

The Florida Senate will hear Senate Joint Resolution 1114 tomorrow (Feb. 28, 2024). Senate Joint Resolution 1114 (SJR 1114) proposes the repeal of a constitutional provision requiring public campaign financing for statewide candidates who adhere to spending limits. We're urging Florida League members to contact their Senator and ask them to vote NO on SJR 1114.

It is evident that our voices are more vital when we unite and collaborate; it is a testament to the power of collective action. Working together will strengthen and maintain our democracy and our community.

Action Alerts

The League of Women Voters of Florida has played a significant role in crafting legislation (Senate Bill 904 & House Bill 1525) that avoids delays in determining voter eligibility. These sort of delays can lead to voter suppression or disenfranchisement if eligible individuals are not allowed to vote due to unresolved issues.

The clock is ticking and Senate Bill 904 & House Bill 1525 have yet to have a hearing. Tell legislative leadership to give these crucial pieces of voting rights legislation a hearing ASAP!
