"Our democracy has been tested, coming to a head in the 2024 elections, and will likely continue to be tested in the months and years ahead. As an organization dedicated to empowering voters and defending democracy, the League of Women Voters will continue our work to protect and expand voting rights and challenge those who seek to undermine democratic principles and processes." (from LWVUS,  Women Defend Democracy)

Unite and Rise 8.5

The League of Women Voters of the United States (LWV) launched Unite and Rise 8.5 to engage and mobilize 8.5 million voters through advocacy, civic education, and community engagement. LWV launched Unite and Rise 8.5 because our country is in a constitutional crisis — and it is up to all Americans, no matter their political leaning, to engage, mobilize, and push back against anti-democratic threats. 

Join the movement and stay up to date on local Unite and Rise activities - see  LWVDV Unite & Rise Team.
