There are many important things happening that require your attention. It's time to gear up for the Legislative session. While the session begins January 2021, committee meetings are taking place now and being closely monitored by LWVFL. You should receive the Capitol Report from the LWVFL reporting on the various legislative committees. Please read these and take action as requested by LWVFL.

Action Alerts

Call the White House and demand that the Biden-Harris Administration get the Senate to fix or NIX the filibuster and PASS the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The LWVUS will drive this message home with a demonstration in front of the White House on November 17. We can support that action from Connecticut by calling the White House now.
