#OnThisDay in 1866, Congress passed the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which included former and recently freed slaves. The amendment was ratified by the states on July 9, 1868.

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️ youtu.be/BIjggk-9mO0

This past weekend, I was glad to attend the @LWV_WI of Beloit Lively Issues Meeting to hear from Kole Torres, DEI Manager for the LWV of Wisconsin, and Vanessa Beckham, Rock County Equity and Engagement Strategist.

Today, the League, along with over 140 organizations leading in women's, reproductive, LGBTQIA+, civil, and human rights, sent a letter to President Biden calling for immediate action to add the duly ratified ERA to the US Constitution. Full statement: lwv.org/newsroom/press…

Trans youth know who they are — and we will never stop fighting for them.

The #EqualRightsAmendment meets all requirements to be added to the Constitution. It’s time for gender equality to move forward! Tell President Biden to publish the #ERA and make history! Let’s protect everyone from gender discrimination: lwv.org/take-action/pr… #ERANow

The fairer and more competitive state legislative voting maps in place this year made a difference in the outcome on November 5th. Fairer voting maps were a bigger factor in Wisconsin elections than in any other state this past year! wisconsinindependent.com/politics/wisco…

Black women & all underserved communities already experience inequitable barriers & limited access to adequate health care services. Many communities targeted w/ voter suppression are the same ones most impacted when reproductive freedom is limited or taken away #AbortionRights

Not only is the right to a safe and legal abortion a matter of personal freedom, it’s also a major factor in the movements for racial and economic equality.

The League of Women Voters stands in solidarity with women and individuals who may become pregnant in the fight to protect reproductive freedom. 🧵 #ReproductiveRightsAreHumanRights

Time for another #BallotBulletin! 🔒LWVWI launched this series to highlight various election security topics so we are all better informed. Let's look at Wisconsin's unique system of administering elections at the local level & the strengths of a decentralized system. #WIVotes

LWV strongly condemns the racist text messages sent after Election Day targeting Black residents in multiple states across the country. These vile messages have no place in our democracy. We stand united against hate & for the protection & civic participation of all communities.

Honoring our veterans means fighting for a democracy where we all get an equal say in our futures.

This Veterans Day, we honor our veterans for their brave service to our country and thank them for their dedication to protecting our freedoms.
