Last week our League members attended an incredibly moving naturalization ceremony and register new citizens to vote. We welcomed 38 new citizens to America during the ceremony, registered new voters, and pre-addressed reminder voting cards to citizens.

How is your chapter commemorating #VRA60? We’d love to boost your efforts.

35 years ago, the ADA promised dignity, access & independence for Americans with disabilities.

The League of Women Voters is fighting back through legal advocacy, voter education & community accountability.

Because equal access to the ballot, the workplace, and public life shouldn’t be negotiable.
