On the eve of the holidays, we mourn the death of Jean Wilson Brutus at a NJ ICE facility. Noone deserves inhuman treatment at the hands of the law. In a constitutional democracy, the government has a moral & legal duty to protect the lives in its care. This is unacceptable. bit.ly/4g5RcEq

We fight to protect voter privacy. Yesterday the Michigan League filed an amicus brief arguing the DOJ has no authority to demand non-public voter registration lists under the Civil Rights Act of 1960 & National Voter Registration Act. Fight with us. @lwvus.bsky.social www.lwv.org/legal-center...

The federal government has filed 22 lawsuits demanding unparalleled access to voter rolls. The DOJ promises to sue every state that does not comply with its demands. The League's position is clear. Private voter data is not a political weapon. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
