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

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in August 2025.

Since the 2013 Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder gutted the Voting Rights Act (VRA), at least 31 states have enacted 114 voting laws that make it harder to vote, with the burden falling hardest on Black voters and other voters of color.  We need a fully restored VRA to defend our democracy and protect the freedom to vote.

Tell your members of Congress to protect the freedom to vote and support the passage of the JLVRAA.

Submitted by South Carolina in July 2025.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted in early July. As members of Congress head home to connect with their constituents, it's time for us to let them know how we feel about this bill.

Hold Congress Accountable for the One Big Beautiful Bill

It's time to restore the VRA (Voting Rights Act)

Submitted by South Carolina in August 2025.

Action Alerts

Every day, the freedom to vote is under attack. The League is proud to support the reintroduction of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA), vital legislation that is needed to fully restore and modernize the VRA and ensure that discriminatory voting policies are stopped in their tracks. Tell your members of Congress to protect the freedom to vote and support the passage of the JLVRAA. Equality — and our democracy — cannot wait.
