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.

While the court declined to block the executive order at this stage, the Constitution is clear: states are responsible for administering elections. Injecting confusion and fear into the process in ways that could deter eligible voters from casting their ballot, is intentional and undemocratic.
