Take Action and Tell Your Senators to Oppose the SAVE Act
What is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act)?
The United States House of Representatives has PASSED House Resolution (HR) 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require every eligible voter to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote.
The vote goes to the U.S. Senate next. There’s no time to wait.
Protect the Right to Vote — Oppose the SAVE Act!
The SAVE Act may sound harmless, but it’s a dangerous step toward voter suppression. Requiring strict proof of citizenship could block millions of eligible voters — especially women, seniors, students, and communities of color — from participating in our democracy.
Here’s what you can do:
- Call your Senators and urge them to vote NO on the SAVE Act
- Write a Letter to the Editor (LTE Template)
- Share this message and raise awareness
- Stand up for free, fair, and accessible elections
Make Your Voice Heard!
The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.
OUR MISSION

OUR VISION

OUR VALUE
We believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy.
“No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.”
Michelle Obama
“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
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.
