Tell Your Senators to Vote YES on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA), which will fully restore the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and ensure renewed oversight, accountability, and justice in our democracy. We must ensure that every voter is treated fairly at the ballot box and has equal access to vote.
Tell Your Senators to Support the JLVRAA.
Demand that President Biden Protect the Freedom to Vote
The freedom to vote is under direct assault across the country, especially for women, Black and brown Americans, and people with disabilities. Federal voting rights protections cannot wait and are vital to saving the soul of our democracy.
Call on the Biden-Harris White House to do everything within their power to protect voting rights.
Support Democratic Reform: Tell Your Senators to Pass the Freedom to Vote Act
The fight for voting rights has been a long and enduring battle. And the newly released Freedom to Vote Act is a transformative voting rights bill that will protect and expand the right to vote, decrease the influence of money in politics and curb partisan gerrymandering. This legislation will put power back into the hands of American voters by prioritizing voting access and participation, while also modernizing future elections to ensure a system that everyone can trust.
Contact your Representative TODAY and tell them to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
Take Action for Equal Rights
Congress must remove the ratification deadline of the Equal Rights Amendment to get it across the finish line and added to the Constitution.
Urge Your Senators to Pass DC Statehood
The people of Washington DC deserve the same rights as any American living in our 50 states. They deserve full representation in Congress and to be free of Congressional interference in their local governance.
Urge your Senators to support the full rights of DC residents!
Act Against Gun Violence
Now is the time for Congress to step up and pass common-sense gun violence prevention reforms, such as universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and banning assault weapons.
Stop Voter Suppression
Across the country, there has been a concerted effort in many states to stop some voters from voting, or to make it much harder for them to participate. Legislators and election officials have purged existing voters from the rolls, made cuts to early voting, reduced polling places, put in place strict voter photo ID laws and levied onerous voter registration restrictions.
Stand with the League in our fight to ensure our elections are always free, fair, and accessible.
Stand Up for DC Statehood
More than 700,000 residents live in DC, which is more than that of Wyoming and Vermont, yet its residents still lack voting members in the U.S. House and Senate. Without these voting members, residents of DC are denied a voice in Congress to defend them from attacks on their own locally passed laws and citizen backed initiatives.
