This latest poll makes one thing clear: Americans are sounding the alarm on the state of our democracy—and they’re right to be worried. LWV knows democracy only works when people believe their voices matter and their votes count. This isn’t partisan—it’s foundational.  www.npr.org/2025/07/01/n...

SCOTUS just green-lit book bans in schools across the country under the guise of freedom of religion. Our schools should be a place of acceptance and respect, not fear-mongering about the LGBTQIA+ community. Unacceptable. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...
