#GivingTuesday is a day to support the organizations that mean the most to us, and that is why I will be supporting the League of Women Voters. I hope you will, too!

From the tip of Maine to the coast of California, Leagues have been working to register voters and ensure our elections are free, fair and accessible to all voters. We have put together a brief slide show to highlight some of the most exciting victories you helped make possible.

The 2016 primaries are not the only important elections coming up. On Tuesday, November 3,  thousands of important state and local elections will happen across the country.

"League teams are finding new voters at bike races, gyms and new citizen ceremonies on this National Voter Registration Day,” said President MacNamara.

“Nancy has guided the staff and inspired the national Board to think and act strategically and lead us into the 21st Century,” President MacNamara said.

Finding unbiased and accurate information about politics and elections helps protect voters and create more democratic elections.

As a citizen of both the U.S. and the U.K., I believe it is important to be politically engaged in both of the countries that I call home.

Hold your mouse over the images to see how the League of Women Voters has helped educate and empower voters – past and present!

In honor of League of Women Voters’ Day on February 14 – and that lesser known holiday, Valentine’s Day – here are seven vintage suffrage Valentines to remind us of the importance of the vote, both in 1920 and today.

Today is Bill of Rights Day, established in honor of the ratification of the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution on December 15, 1791.
