Take Action in Connecticut to Reject Anti-Voter Policies and Protect the Right to Vote: The SAVE Act, President Trump's Executive Order, and Funding for Connecticut's Elections

Submitted by Connecticut in March 2025.

Action Alerts

While waiting for developments in the anticipated court battles, Connecticut voters can take action to reject anti-voter policies and protect voting rights by 1) mobilizing friends in other states to push back against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) Act, and 2) taking action at the state level to support voting rights and access and oppose anti-voter legislation at the state level during the legislative session.

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in January 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.

Action Alerts

Please submit testimony for SB 17! The League of Women Voters of Connecticut supports funding to municipalities to cover their costs for early voting, as the requirements placed on towns for early voting caused unfunded mandates in many locations in 2024. But we can do better - municipalities should receive funds to support early voting and ensure that our elections are accessible to all Connecticut voters.

Action Alert! Protect Immigrants – Strengthen the Trust Act

Submitted by Connecticut in March 2025.

Action Alerts

H.B. 7212, an Act Concerning the Trust Act, represents an important step in protecting Connecticut’s immigrant communities, but it does not fully address the breadth of challenges our immigrant community members are facing. Submit testimony ahead of the March 19 Public Hearing in support of strengthening the Trust Act.

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in March 2025.

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 Connecticut in March 2025.

Action Alerts

Voters deserve clear information when asked to vote on major changes in their town or city government. Please join us in submitting written testimony before March 7 in favor of Raised House Bill 7125. And if you ever voted on a ballot question about changing your town or city charter that used vague or confusing language, please mention it in your testimony.

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. While we have made progress in expanding voter access, many people still face challenges to participating in elections due to factors including income, health, age, race, disability, and gender. 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!

Submitted by Connecticut in May 2024.

Action Alerts

The Climate Bill passed the State House, now on to the Senate! Please contact your State Senator by Wednesday and urge them to vote YES on HB 5004: An Act Concerning the Implementation of Certain Climate Change Measures. This Climate Bill is a crucial step toward obtaining a safe and healthy climate.

Submitted by Connecticut in May 2024.

Action Alerts

Contact Speaker of the House Matt Ritter and ask him to support funding for Early Voting. Many worked for a decade to pass Early Voting in Connecticut, a landmark event that the Governor said would "improve the ability of voters to cast their ballots and enable more people to participate in our democracy". However without funding and support this hard fought right may not succeed.

Submitted by Connecticut in April 2024.

Action Alerts

We must protect our planet from the physical, economic, and public health effects of climate change. Contact your legislators by the end of the day Wednesday and urge them to support HB 5004: An Act Concerning the Implementation of Certain Climate Change Measures. HB 5004 is a crucial step toward obtaining a safe and healthy climate. We need the Connecticut General Assembly to bring the bill to the House floor and vote YES.
