We are one day out from the Voting Rights Act hearing and rally at the US Supreme Court and I want to make sure you all have the information you need to help make it a success.
Here are some updated logistics related to tomorrow’s rally:
LWVUS submitted a statement to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights on February 12, 2013.
The LWVEF is pleased to release a new whitepaper entitled Power the Vote 2012: How a new initiative launched results for millions of voters.
LWVUS and the League of Women Voters of South Carolina (LWVSC) signed onto briefs in the case of Shelby County v. Holder. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case on February 27, 2013.
If you are interested in forming a League in your community, you should contact your state League for more information. To start a League you must first be a member of the state League and operate a Unit in your area for a viable amount of time.
The following items will be considered in the decision to promote your Unit to League status.
The brief in Arizona v. Intertribal Council argues that the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) blocks a documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement to register to vote imposed by the state of Arizona.
A selection of photographs from the events of the 2012 G8 Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiative is now available on the League of Women Voters Flickr site.
Only the traditional version of the logo may be used in printed materials.
