Rest in power, Dolores Huerta (1930–2026). A lifelong organizer who began her work by registering voters, she spent seven decades fighting for workers, women, and immigrant families, and she taught generations that “Sí se puede.” We honor her legacy by making our voices heard. 💜

People with disabilities deserve an accessible opportunity to vote. My son William uses a wheelchair and is non-verbal. Here is our message to people with disabilities, their families and caregivers. Contact your local election office. Ask about accessibility, transportation, early voting, mail-in voting ballots, and available accommodations. Contacting the League of Women’s voters is also a good starting point. #AccessibleVoting #DiabilityRights @LWV @abilis

Things my future voter did today during early voting at Pip Moyer: Ask why people were campaigning in the “zone.” Refuse to talk to anyone Ask, loudly, who I was voting for and then shout “oh that guy!” Ask to take my ballot home

Get upset when I put my ballot in the scanner and handed back the privacy folder Got candy Declared, again loudly, that she would never vote because “voting is embarrassing.” Anyway - go vote everyone! It’s fun and not at all embarrassing.

Weaponizing law enforcement to intimidate voters is never ok. The freedom to vote is a constitutional right, and everyone should feel safe while exercising their freedom to vote.

🎉 WIN: Nonprofit groups can continue to help new U.S. citizens register as voters at their naturalization ceremonies, a federal judge ruled. It’s a stinging defeat for the Trump administration’s broad effort to make it harder for naturalized citizens to vote. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

LOSS: A New Jersey judge refused to block a GOP-led attempt to purge only non-Republican voters in Ocean County before the midterms. Pro-voting groups sued after 39 Bay Head residents received letters questioning their eligibility to vote, which they argued intimidated and burdened voters.

Trump’s attempt to rewrite the rules for mail voting has now been blocked by two federal court rulings. The DOJ is asking SCOTUS to revive the executive order, while 56 former judges—most Republican appointees—are urging the Court to keep it blocked. apnews.com/article/trump-exe…
