On August 8, 2026, Leagues across the country are invited to take part in Unite and Rise for Voting Rights, a National Day of Action marking the legacy of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the ongoing work required to protect and expand access to the ballot.
This day serves as both a culmination of summer organizing and a launch point for intensified midterm mobilization, transforming individual acts of participation into shared, visible, and sustained civic action. While several cities will host larger signature events, the strength of this effort will come from Leagues in communities nationwide, leading locally rooted actions that engage new people and build momentum ahead of November.
What would you like to do to recognize this date as the LWVSCV? Please share your ideas with Beth Wood, Unite Rise captain (bwood@frontiernet.net)

As a modern woman, there are things I take for granted, and that shows up in the way I sit, the way I walk, the way I think, and what I know to be possible.

We believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy. That’s been our vision since 1920, when the League of Women Voters was founded by leaders of the women’s suffrage movement.
