H. 4760 restricting access to abortion-inducing medications remains active. Email the House Judiciary Committee and its members to vote no on this harmful bill. "Bathroom bill" H.4756 is unnecessary and puts cisgender students at risk of bullying and harassment. Parental rights are important, but the requirements of H.4757would be a significant burden on teachers and schools.

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. 

Speak up now.

Last year, the House and Senate introduced the Equal Representation Act (H.R.151 and S.2205) to add a citizenship question to the 2030 Census and exclude noncitizens from the apportionment process, which determines the number of members each US state sends to the House of Representatives.

Tell your Members of Congress the Census must count all people!

The House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee will hold hearings on bills
closing partisan primaries by party (January 15) and restricting abortion rights (January 14). Please add your voice as citizens and voters by attending the hearings if possible and by submitting written or oral testimony! The League is always especially concerned about bills that impact representative democracy, as the bills to close primary elections would, but we are also concerned about infringements on the rights of citizens in other areas.

A developer is requesting a “special exception” from the Colleton County Board of Zoning Appeals to allow a data center on 850 acres of rural timberland. Data centers use massive amounts of water, require significant amounts of clean water, and do not require many employees. Noise, pollutants, impacts on wildlife and wetlands, and residential quality of life are also significant concerns. PDF icon New: Southern Environmental Law Center legal and environmental analysis

The House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act for the second time in April 2025. The SAVE Act 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.

Now, the Senate must reject this bill to prevent it from becoming law. Contact Congress today!

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!

While Congress continues to get paid, the American people, including some of our most vulnerable community members, don’t have their most basic needs met. This is simply unacceptable. 

Tell Congress to set aside partisan politics and come together to end the shutdown now.

it is urgent that you call your State Senator and legislators on the Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee about S.323, the dangerous and extreme abortion ban currently being fast-tracked through the SC Senate. Before their November 18 second hearing, voice your objections. Legislators should be fighting FOR our freedoms, not against them. #StopTheBansSC

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.
