The American people expect our nation’s leaders to work in a bipartisan manner to shape the future of our country. We welcome Speaker Johnson & look forward to working on both sides of the aisle to prioritize voting rights legislation that empowers voters & defends democracy.

We are sad to hear of the passing of voting rights advocate and longtime League member Mildred Madison. She was active in her local Leagues while living in Cleveland and Detroit, making a huge impact on Detroit’s city government.
May we honor her legacy. cbsn.ws/3EfFHs2

August may be coming to an end, but the fight for women’s equality does not. #WID23

The civil rights movement showed us the power of demanding a fair democracy.
Today, we continue that work. All the rights we are working to protect begin with the right to vote. Join the march to fight for a democracy that empowers us all on August 26 in DC for #MOW60.

Every Aug 26, we celebrate the accomplishments women have made & commemorate the 19th Amendment. But this year, we cannot celebrate.
Join us this month & let our government know you want to not only be represented but included as an equal. #WID23 ➡️ bit.ly/3DCJyiv
