Our fight is not over. We will not give up. Just like John Lewis, the League, our partners, and the civil rights community, we will not give up on the promise of voting rights. We will not give up until every American has the freedom to vote.

Ask candidates for NC General Assembly if they will support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Tell them you want the President to always be the candidate who gets the most votes when you add up all the votes in all 50 states and DC.

At the Constitutional Convention southern states insisted that three fifths of the slave population be counted in the census. TWe need to end this terrible legacy. The National Popular Vote is the first step in the League of Women Voters efforts abolish the Electoral College.

🚨 Tell Congress: Oppose the SAVE Act Suite of Bills

The SAVE Act, SAVE America Act, and Make Elections Great Again Act would disproportionately burden military families, married women who’ve changed their names, disaster survivors, and communities of color.

Anti-voter legislation regularly passes in legislatures around the country. When parties in power decide they don't like the outcome of an election, they take aim at voters by enacting legislation intended to legally discriminate against those who voted against the party in power's interest.

Public support for electing the President by popular vote is increasing. We need to have the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact by 2028.

An early 20th century educator and suffragist leader, Nannie Helen Burroughs was an early president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, campaigning on behalf of women's right to vote.
Her work helped make our democracy stronger for all Americans.

The Voting Rights Act in 1965 stopped discriminatory voting laws from going into effect and causing damage to the ability of Black voters to participate. As the bill was reauthorized by Congress, legislation also helped to end discriminatory voting tactics used against other communities of color.

A 1960s report "Federal Protection of Negro Voting Rights" found southern states had registration levels in the Black population in the low teens. Black voters who were registered were being disproportionately targeted by literacy tests, ID requirements & β€œpoll taxes” that white voters were not.

Millennials have spent 30% of their lifetimes with a second-place president. For Generation Z it is 50% of their lifetimes. Enacting the National Popular Vote should help convince this group that their vote is their voice and will be heard.

Happy Birthday Abe!
When Abraham Lincoln ran for President in 1860 and 1864, he knew he would win if he got the most votes nationally. Candidates in 2028 do not have that assurance. The National Popular Vote will honor the will of the people and make sure we do not have second place Presidents.

The right to vote for Americans has been hard-fought since the beginning. In 1776 white male property owners had the right to vote. The 15th Amendment in 1870 broke down the racial divide in voting; states continued to deny the vote to Black Americans. In 1920, white women won the right to vote.
