Tell Congress to Stop Interfering in DC

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in November 2025.

Action Alerts

The District of Columbia, while known to many as the seat of our nation's government, is also where many people live, work, raise their families, pay taxes, and call home. However, unlike people living in the 50 US states, the residents of DC live under local laws that are subject to congressional interference. This is undemocratic.

Urge your Members of Congress to oppose interference in DC!

Action Alerts

While Congress continues to get paid, the American people, including some of our most vulnerable community members, don’t have their most basic needs met. This is simply unacceptable.

Tell Congress to set aside partisan politics and come together to end the shutdown now.

Action Alerts

The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) published a Federal Register notice requesting comments on a petition seeking to add documentary proof of citizenship to the federal voter registration form. While it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote, asking citizens to provide additional documentation is an obstacle that could disproportionately affect vulnerable groups.

Submit your statement opposing unnecessary documentary proof of citizenship.

Action Alerts

In August, President Trump fabricated yet another emergency as the basis to abuse his power and target his perceived political enemies by deploying the National Guard to Washington, DC, and taking over the DC Metropolitan Police Department.

Tell your members of Congress to demand an immediate oversight hearing and oppose actions that undermine peaceful assembly or criminalize urban cities.

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

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in August 2025.

Action Alerts

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.

Action Alerts

Just over one month into the current Administration, the President has issued a series of executive orders and directed actions that violate the law and Congress’ power. Congress must act now to restore the stability of our nation before it’s too late.

Urge your members of Congress to stand up for our democracy.

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in March 2025.

Action Alerts

The House and Senate introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require citizenship documentation to register to vote even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering.

The SAVE Act would create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents.

Tell your members of Congress to oppose the SAVE Act.

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in January 2025.

Action Alerts

More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, the federal government has still not consistently recognized the constitutional right to sex and gender equality. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) constitutionally protects the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex.
