Why It Matters

WASHINGTON — Today League of Women Voters of the United States CEO Virginia Kase Solomón issued the following statement after the US House of Representatives passed bipartisan gun safety legislation:
PROVIDENCE — Last week, litigation filed by Rhode Island students seeking to establish a constitutional right to a civics education ended with an agreement that both sides agree will strengthen civics education in the state. The League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of Rhode Island filed an amicus brief in the case — Cook v. McKee — highlighting the powerful connection between civics education and voter participation.
The League supports bringing the Civics Secures Democracy Act for debate and passage to promote an informed citizenship via K-12 education nationwide.
