Make Your Voice Heard

July is the time to inundate your Congresspersons with League's suggested actions. You’ve contacted them before about opposition to the SAVE Act, constitutional importance of the census count, and recognition of the ratified ERA.

It's always easy to get your congressperson's attention. Do it again.

• Reject the anti-voter SAVE Act suite of bills!
• Demand that the Census count all people!
• Demand passage of the Equal Rights Amendment!
