From LWV US....

Celina Stewart, LWV CEO, Speaks Out

In this critical midterm election year, we’re pushing back against voter suppression, abuses of power, and efforts to silence millions. Join me as we unite and rise in this critical fight.

Watch the video to find ways to stand up against unprecedented attacks on our democracy, from executive overreach to legislators failing to protect the rights of the people to the US Supreme Court bending to the will of bad actors in power.

Take Action

Reject More Funding for ICE and CBP

Help LWV demand that Congress reject any additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Instead, represent the American people they are charged to serve.

Congress is back in session and working on a fast-track legislative process to allocate billions of additional dollars to ICE and CBP. We’ve been pushing back against the allocation of additional funding for federal immigration efforts for months, and we must keep up the pressure.

Click here to tell Congress to reject more money to ICE and CBP.
