Tell Congress Federal Immigration Enforcement Has Gone Too Far

Action Alert - LWVUS Congress

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in January 2026.

Communities across the country have lived in terror as federal immigration enforcement agents have patrolled, surveilled, detained, disappeared, injured, and killed civilians, as well as denied people’s constitutional rights by attacking and arresting peaceful protestors. Yet Congress — our elected officials — has played a pivotal role in funding and enabling this government-manufactured crisis, and they must act to stop these attacks.

Tell Congress to Stop Interfering in DC

Action Alert - LWVUS Congress

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!

Tell Your Representatives to Protect Equal Voting Rights

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.
