The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services tried to illegally ban nonpartisan groups from registering new U.S. citizens to vote at naturalization ceremonies held at the agency's offices. We sued and got that rule permanently banned. Now, the @LWV continue this important work.

Meet Sania Irwin, Chair of LWVEF and President of LWVUS. In a recent blog, she wrote about her journey, how immigration makes our nation stronger, what shaped her belief in democracy, and why she's hopeful about the future of the League. lwv.org/blog/why-immigration…

Not everything false online spreads the same way. 🧐 🟢 Misinformation is false information shared unintentionally, like an honest mistake.
🔵 Disinformation is false information shared intentionally to mislead.

Rural women keep farms, families, and communities going. Yet their unpaid care work too often goes unseen and unequally shared. This #RuralWomensDay, it's time to turn recognition into action. 🔗 Our statement: unwomen.org/en/news-stories/… #ForAllWomenAndGirls

🚨BREAKING: A judge ruled the DOJ's policy of collecting states' unredacted voter rolls and urging them to remove voters flagged as ineligible is illegal. "This policy...has left untold numbers of disenfranchised voters in its wake and inflicted injuries to the Plaintiffs' privacy," the court wrote.
