Raise your voice with the LWV Unite and Rise campaign.

 

Actions you can take today!
Unite and Rise 8.5 fights for our democracy on multiple fronts, from the courts to the streets. More actions will be outlined in the future, but as of today, here are a few you can take: 

1. Protect democracy: Tell your Senators to oppose the anti-voter SAVE Act;
2. Tell Congress not to gut crucial programs like Medicaid;
3. Raise your voice about illegal deportations: join mobilizations around immigrant rights and due process with organizations like the National Partnership for New Americans, United We Dream, and others;
4. “Turn Up the Heat” on elected officials: Connect directly with your representatives on the issues that matter via Town Halls and other opportunities
5. Act locally: Join local organizations like your state or local League to act on the issues that matter in your community.
