On September 11, we remember the lives lost and the first responders and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage. We honor their memory by caring for one another, strengthening our communities, and continuing to build a democracy rooted in the values that unite us. Today, we remember. 💙

From workers’ rights to the right to vote, the strength of the labor movement goes hand in hand with the strength of our democracy. When ordinary people are empowered to stand up for their rights, we can all build a brighter future together. Happy Labor Day!
A graphic on a textured purple background. At the top is the League of Women Voters logo and large yellow text that reads "Happy Labor Day!" The rest of the graphic features cutout photos of a diverse group of nine workers, each wearing high visibility gear and personal protective equipment including vests, hard hats, and safety goggles. They are standing in various poses including smiling at the camera, giving a thumbs up, or crossing their arms confidently.

1 in 4 people have visited a Planned Parenthood health center for care. When politicians vote to “defund” Planned Parenthood and shut down health centers, they limit people’s right to lifesaving and essential care — including abortion care. Planned Parenthood saves lives.🩷

If your DACA is expiring soon, don't wait. Consider renewing early when there are 150+ days left before expiration. Some renewals are taking as long as 7 months to process right now. USCIS is failing to process applications on time — and our neighbors are paying the price. We are demanding better.

The League of Women Voters today urged Americans nationwide to recognize and reject an escalating pattern of voter silencing, intimidation, and suppression as the country moves closer to the November midterm elections. Read here: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

White and yellow text in the center reads, "While law enforcement should investigate any legitimate threat to national security or election integrity, actions that intimidate those who works o hard to organize for democracy raise grave concerns about their chilling effect on civil society.It is imperative that lawful voter engagement work – a hallmark of our democracy – continue unimpeded.As voter registration and outreach efforts intensify, the sweeping action we saw last week in Ohio sends a message far beyond one organization: participate in democracy at your peril.”– Celina Stewart, League of Women Voters CEO."

White and yellow text in the center reads, "For years, bad-faith actors have pushed false narratives about election fraud to justify attacks on voting rights.What is happening now is even more dangerous because it extends intimidation beyond the workplace and into the homes of people who work at voting rights organizations. We cannot allow fear, disinformation, or political pressure to push voters or civic organizations out of the public square. – Dianna Wynn, League of Women Voters President" The LWV logo is at the bottom of the graphic.A graphic on a dark background with a photo of the U.S. Capitol.

White text in the center reads, "The League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of Alabama are dedicated to ensuring every eligible voter has access to and is informed about the election process. The Supreme Court's ruling less than six months prior to the General Election brings unnecessary chaos to the process." The LWV logo is at the bottom of the graphic.A graphic on a dark purple background with a photo of the US Supreme Court. White and yellow text in the center reads, "Our democracy is weakened when voters lose confidence that elections will be conducted fairly, transparently, and competently. No voter should miss an election or lose their voice because of confusion created by last-minute changed. Alabama voters deserve clean information and a fair opportunity to participate in every election. The League is calling on the Secretary of State to ensure that every affected voter received direct notification of their new districts, election dates, and instructions for verifying registration status and polling locations."
