Loved seeing these signs on the way to Quaker Meeting this morning 💜 I am so glad to be on the side of voters & real democracy in supporting #Initiative83 alongside @chenderson, @lwvldc & the @washingtonpost editorial board who all support #RankedChoiceVoting 🍒

While we are disappointed with the court’s decision, we will not be deterred. Felony disenfranchisement laws have no place in a true democracy. @lwvmiss Read more: lwv.org/newsroom/press…

@LWVUV @MontroseLibrary @deltalibraries This is helpful advice. United we stand.

Making bad news worse by spreading or creating unproven conspiracy theories is not cool. @MontroseLibrary @deltalibraries @ouraylibrary #disinformation

@KaseVirginia Political violence is antithetical to democracy. Hearts go out

Celina Stewart has served as LWV's Chief Counsel & Senior Director of Advocacy & Litigation since 2018 and is poised to lead the 104-year-old voting rights organization into a new phase of growth & transformation. Stewart will start as our CEO on Aug 5.buff.ly/3WjhzPa

No matter our color, party, or zip code, we all want an equal say in the decisions that shape our future. We must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect and expand our freedom to vote.

@voteboonemo @MissouriSOS Thank you for the important work that you and your fellow election workers do. You make democracy work!

Did you know that, on top of August election prep, we’ve been busy checking signatures on 4 initiative petitions? Petitions are submitted to @MissouriSOS, but county clerks check the signatures. Boone County has ~15,000 pages to check by July 30th & we’re in the home stretch!

LWVDC members celebrated democracy and called for full rights for DC at the Palisades Fourth of July Parade!

@lwvct Thanks so much for your support, LWVCT!

Wrapping up convention, thanks Celeste and Anne for representing Connecticut 😊

Mayor Muriel Bowser at the convention. Washington DC should be a state!

@LWV Warm welcome, Celina, to your new leadership role in protecting democracy!

We are thrilled to announce that Celina Stewart will be the next CEO of the League of Women Voters! #womenpowerdemocracy #LWVCon24

Congratulations @lwv CEO Celina Stewart announced at #LWVCon24 #TogetherWeWill

Dr Irwin kicking off our national @LWV convention— with well over a thousand amazing League leaders in person and online on DC!! #turnupturnout #lwvcon24

Kicked off #LVWCon24 with a powerful discussion about why the Electoral College has existed for so long & how we will dismantle this system & build a democracy powered by the people, for the people, ALL the people. @41acreslaw @keeshagaskins @NailahAmaru & Carolyn Dupont

Our @ParityIndex map that grades states for the number of women in elected office is a big hit at the @LWV conference— great conversation starter abt the need for #SystemsStrategies like #RankedChoiceVoting 🗳️ that elect more women to office!
