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

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.

It's time to restore the VRA (Voting Rights Act)

Action Alerts

Every day, the freedom to vote is under attack. The League is proud to support the reintroduction of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA), vital legislation that is needed to fully restore and modernize the VRA and ensure that discriminatory voting policies are stopped in their tracks. Tell your members of Congress to protect the freedom to vote and support the passage of the JLVRAA. Equality — and our democracy — cannot wait.

By May 7, ask your senator for a firm NO on House H.3309. It will leave South Carolinians paying to subsidize energy and tax bills for data centers, weakens energy efficiency provisions, and reduces transparency. They want us to pay some costs in advance for plants that haven't even been built.

Action Alerts

The SC Senate made positive changes to H.3309 but also incorporated the Rate Stabilization Act, a provision to allow utilities to raise customer rates annually without presenting a case before the Public Service Commission. Urge your House Representative to retain the positive Senate changes and delete the Rate Stabilization Act provisions.
