Read a guest blog post by the League of Women Voters of Oregon on their recent participation in the Pacific Northwest Regional Hearing of the National Commission on Voting Rights.

Challenging a law on its face is always a very difficult thing to do. But as we have seen over the years since voter ID laws have been applied, these laws discriminate.

May 1 was Law Day, a day to reflect on the law's its importance to American society. This year’s theme - American Democracy and the Rule of Law: Why Every Vote Matters – was particularly relevant for us.

On Earth Day 2014, the League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of Iowa joined with The New Republic Magazine and Drake University in Iowa to sponsor a forum focused on climate change.

On Earth Day, I met with the Counselor to President Obama and the White House Office of Public Engagement, along with other advocates, to talk about the President’s Climate Action Plan.

The National Voter Registration Act requires public assistance agencies to provide voter registration opportunities to applicants, and the Health Benefit Exchanges are public assistance agencies.

Celebrate Earth Day with the League by telling the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fight climate change.

In 2009, League members came together to develop the League’s Climate Change Task Force. Local and state Leagues are committed to addressing environmental concerns that arise in their communities.

We must let the EPA know that we need to act immediately to protect the future of our planet, including our lives and the lives of our children.

It's amazing what you see when you're taking a 3,000 mile walk! On March 1, climate change activists began walking east from Los Angeles. In November, we will finish our journey in Washington, DC.
