LWVUS and the League of Women Voters of the District of Columbia issued a joint statement in response to President Trump deploying the National Guard to Washington, DC, and taking over the DC Metropolitan Police Department

Texas organizations filed an amicus brief explaining that Governor Abbott’s attempt to expel State Rep. Gene Wu is unconstitutional and could set a dangerous precedent.

League of Women Voters of the United States CEO Celina Stewart, Esq., issued the following statement in response to states considering mid-cycle redistricting.

As we celebrate the 60^th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, legal intern Jayla Smith interviewed Chief of Activation and Justice Marcia Johnson about the law's impact and how we can ensure that its legacy continues.

Local elections happen annually in the United States. The officials elected and the decisions they make affect your daily life as much, if not more, than those in the federal government. From road repairs, schools, and urban planning to immigration and policing, local government is constantly present in every part of American life.   

In this new world, the burden of discerning what is true or false falls on each of us individually. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have not fully tried to correct harmful falsehoods on their platforms. Meta’s small programs, such as Community Notes, a way for people to add more context to confusing and misleading posts, or YouTube links to vetted information, play a small yet inconsequential role in spreading mis-, dis-, and mal-information. 

So the responsibility falls to us — as parents, friends, colleagues and, above all, as citizens — to develop the skills needed to navigate a highly polluted information ecosystem. 

 At our core, nonpartisanship is not just a policy — it’s a bedrock principle that defines who we are at the League of Women Voters. As a membership organization committed to empowering voters and defending democracy, we do not support or oppose political parties or candidates. 

Our focus has always been, and will continue to be, on the issues that matter to our communities: ensuring fair elections, protecting voting rights, and strengthening our democratic institutions.
