A graphic on a purple background. At the top, a white and yellow banner with purple text reads "It's National Voter Registration Day!" Below that, more text reads, "Join us in celebrating this important civic holiday by making sure you're registered to vote so you're ready for Election Day. Tell your friends to get registered too!" On the right is a cutout photo of a young women with long dark hair wearing a VOTE411 t-shirt and holding up a sticker for National Voter Registration Day. At the bottom of the graphic are the logos for VOTE411 and the League of Women Voters.

A Gender War Explodes in Utah Over the Courts, Abortion and Representation
When Republicans tried to repeal a law that voters passed banning gerrymandering, they found an opposition that flew in the face of Utah women’s “tradwives” imagery.

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.

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

Women belong where decisions are made 🗳💪 With anti-voter politicians continuing to push the SAVE Act and increasing discussions around whether women should be allowed to vote, it is clear that our rights are under attack. We can push back by showing up and making our voices heard on Election Day.

Here’s the thing. If both racial and partisan gerrymandering is perfectly legal, then you won’t live in a democracy. You live in a country where politicians pick their voters not the other way around. It’s pretty much that simple.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.
