Texas has no quorum to vote on a partisan gerrymander. SCOTUS set to decide if the Voting Rights Act violates the U.S. Constitution in Louisiana. Georgia moves to purge 500,000 voters. We deserve better. It’s Our Job to Fight for John Lewis’s America! www.lwv.org/blog/its-our... @lwvus.bsky.social

Gerrymanders sprawl. Before a single vote is cast, results are guaranteed. Partisan warfare is rampant. Voter purges escalate into hundreds of thousands. The DOJ is demanding sensitive personal data. Voices are being silenced. Join us. We are fighting! www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social

In 2013, #SCOTUS guts Voting Rights Act preclearance. Immediately a rash of restrictive voting laws pass. Today, DOJ Civil Rights Division slow walks voting rights enforcement. Only one solution. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act now! Call Congress (202) 224-3121. @lwvus.bsky.social

The big, beautiful bomb that exploded on the Fourth of July blew the lid off healthcare and nutrition for millions. It’s confusing. It was meant to be. Make no mistake. Millions will be harmed because of tax cuts that benefit the rich. Details: www.lwv.org/blog/what-on... @lwvus.bsky.social

Early in the new administration the DOJ dismissed cases brought against last minute voter purges. It dismantled the Civil Rights division & is collecting sensitive voter data. Yesterday Texas re-gerrymandered its map setting off a nationwide firestorm. We must restore the VRA! @lwvus.bsky.social

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intends to contact all 50 states about their compliance with federal voting law. We call this another attempt to undermine the security of our elections & weaken our democracy. Politicized fishing expeditions must stop! @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Today, the US Senate introduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA) to protect and strengthen our democracy. The League of Women Voters @lwvus.bsky.social proudly supports this critical legislation. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Justice Served! Yesterday a Federal Judge indefinitely blocked withholding Medicaid Funds to Planned Parenthood. She found that the policy retaliated against the organization in violation of its 1st Amendment rights & could amount to an unconstitutional “legislative punishment.” @lwvus.bsky.social

Books once smuggled behind the iron curtain to promote freedom & democracy are now banned in some schools here. What are we hiding? The First Amendment forbids government censorship of what we read. What we think. @lwvus.bsky.social Read the fascinating history: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/o...

The @lwvus.bsky.social was a proud partner in the “John Lewis - Good Trouble Lives On Day” & encouraged all US Local Leagues to support events in their areas. The @lwvwillliamsburg.bsky.social partnered w/ @wjccindivisible.bsky.social to sponsor our community rally. More than 500 people turned out.🇺🇸

Last week, despite silence from the media, tens of thousands joined “Good Trouble Lives On” commemorating civil-rights icon John Lewis. Despite masked men & machine guns in our streets, the fight for ballot access is very much alive with fulsome League support. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Next week the Senate will reintroduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The 1965 VRA has been savagely dismantled since 2013. It’s time for an antidote to reverse the damage. Tell Senators to protect democracy. (202) 224-3121. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social

Nothing is normal. There’s a bill in North Carolina to make it illegal for election officials to encourage people to vote. Even nonpartisan outreach is under attack. Democracy is on the line. It’s never too early. REGISTER! Do it now! @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social

Yesterday Wisconsin voters sued the State Elections Commission charging that congressional maps are “antithetical to virtually every principle necessary to sustain a representative democracy.” Battles to ensure that all votes count rage on. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvwi.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

The Texas Legislature will not vote on measures to address the state’s deadly flooding until after redistricting map vote. Statement from the Texas League: “Attempting to push through redistricting while people are still recovering…adds insult to injury.” @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvtexas.bsky.social

Attacks on the media — be it public media or late-night talk shows — are attempts to erase our shared stories and cherry-pick which ones get told. This is inherently antidemocratic and unacceptable.

North Carolina is at it again. A new anti-voter plan could disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters. The move hearkens back to efforts to overturn the State Supreme Court election. It failed. But attempts to suppress never end. Vigilance! @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
