Support the Expansion of Voting Rights

Action Alert - League of Women Voters (Vote for Your Rights)

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in December 2024.

Action Alerts

More than 50 years after the Voting Rights Act was passed, full protections for voting rights are not guaranteed for all voters.

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

Urge Congress to protect the right to vote!
