Unite & Rise Nationwide Day of Action
On August 8, Leagues across the country will organize civic actions to mark the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Signed into law on August 6, 1965, the VRA was a landmark achievement of the civil rights movement, one won through decades of organizing, sacrifice, and persistent civic action. It dismantled systematic barriers to the ballot and affirmed that the right to vote must be protected, and is not promised.
Join us on Saturday, August 8 at noon, at Elder Piper.
Members of the LWVNLM will gather to complete postcards that will be sent out before the November election.
We would love for you to join us for an hour or two. Get to know other LWVNLM members and encourage voting by addressing postcards to members of our community.
RSVP below so we can be prepared with an appropriate number of cards and materials.
