Tell Congress to Guarantee the Right to Vote

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.

Reject Anti-Voter Policies

Action Alert (Black woman with megaphone)

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.

Action Alert - League of Women Voters (Protestors with US flag)

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in January 2025.
