Unite and Rise!
“From the flagrant disregard for congressional authority and governmental checks and balances to defying Supreme Court orders...one thing is abundantly clear: our country is in a constitutional crisis." (LWV CEO Celina Stewart and President Dianna Wynn) We the people must fight back. That is why the LWV has launched Unite and Rise 8.5

Unite & Rise 8.5 aims to build a movement of 8.5 million individuals to unite and rise up against the anti-democratic actions of this administration. Launched in May 2025 and running until the 2026 midterm elections, this initiative is part of LWV's Women Defend Democracy campaign. Through the Women Defend Democracy campaign, the League will work to:

• Provide Democracy Education & Election Administration Support
• Restore and Defend Voting Rights Protections
• Abolish the Electoral College
• Protect Democracy Organizations & Institutions
• Fight for Reproductive Freedoms 

• Commit to action:  Sign our commitment form to Unite and Rise for democracy here: Unite and Rise form
• Protect equal voting rights:  Tell your representatives to support the John Lewis Voting Right Advancement Act 
• “Turn Up the Heat” on elected officials:  Connect directly with your representatives on the issues that matter via Town Halls and other opportunities. Use LWVSKC's TRY for info to reach out.
• Oppose federal interferences:  Tell Congress to fully investigate the legality of President Trump's actions in US cities, to oppose the misuse of federal authority, and to stand up for democracy.
• Raise your voice about illegal deportations:  Join mobilizations around immigrant rights and due process with organizations like the National Partnership for New Americans, United We Dream, and others and speak up here.
• Act locally:  Join local organizations like League of Women Voters of Seattle King County to act on the issues that matter in your community.

We all want elections that are free, fair, accurate, and accessible to all voters. The freedom to vote is fundamental and nonnegotiable.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, and others like it, are assaults on our democracy, our ability to vote.
It puts voting out of reach or difficult for citizens — starting with women, people of color, young people, older people and immigrants.

The SAVE America Act is not about election security. The documentary proof of citizenship requirement is illegal, discriminatory and unnecessary, as current law already mandates that only citizens may vote in state and federal elections. This act would:

• Effectively end online voter registration
• Eliminate third-party voter registration drives conducted by nonprofits
• Place substantial new burdens on state/ local election officials
• Disproportionately impact eligible citizens who lack ready access to documentation/transportation
  

Stand up for your democracy and every American’s right to Vote. Tell Congress no to the SAVE America Act.

Urge your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act
