During our regional meeting, we used our lunch break to stand together for our democracy.

Their work is nonpartisan and essential to free and fair elections.

Thank you, Election Heroes.

National Popular Vote slogan over a map of North Carolina.

The League of Women Voters of North Carolina urges members, supporters, and the public to sign the "One Person, One Vote Petition" to move the country one step closer to adopting the National Popular Vote as a means to elect the president.

Mid-cycle redistricting undermines voter confidence. When legislators redraw districts between censuses, it’s rarely about fairness—it’s about power—silencing communities, diluting voices, and destabilizing democracy. Link to NCGA public comment portal in bio. #FairMaps #LWV #ProtectTheVote

Supreme Court sides with parents who objected to kids' books on gender identity, sexuality The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a group of parents who wanted to opt their children out of instruction with storybooks that address gender identity and sexual orientation.

SCOTUS just green-lit book bans in schools across the country under the guise of freedom of religion. Our schools should be a place of acceptance and respect, not fear-mongering about the LGBTQIA+ community.

Unacceptable. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

Poll: Most feel democracy is threatened and political violence is a major problem 76% of Americans think that democracy is under a serious threat, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. And their faith in political leadership in the White House and Congress is low.

This latest poll makes one thing clear: Americans are sounding the alarm on the state of our democracy—and they’re right to be worried. LWV knows democracy only works when people believe their voices matter and their votes count. This isn’t partisan—it’s foundational.

Senate passes Trump's "big, beautiful bill" in 51 to 50 vote after marathon session The Senate is holding a final vote on President Trump's massive tax cut and spending bill after a marathon series of amendment votes.

The Senate bill is a direct attack on millions who rely on Medicaid. It would rip health care away from children, families, and seniors, and people with disabilities. This isn’t just bad policy – it’s cruelty. The American people deserve better.

This is an ugly and dangerous bill that is bad for America. If they pass it, Congress will endanger the health of our country. Make your voice heard. #ncpol

The Trump admin is withholding over $6 billion in education grants for schools The federal grant funding traditionally goes out by July 1. It includes support for migrant education, after-school programs and English language learners.

#USgov notified all states that it's withholding $6 billion+ of previously approved #federal #education #grants to #schools.

These funds would have traditionally been disbursed on July 1st '25.

It'll likely impact #school #districts' plans in fall '25.

Senate megabill could kill NC's Medicaid expansion, prompting Tillis opposition U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis says the Senate’s current megabill would effectively end Medicaid expansion in North Carolina — and that’s the main reason he’s opposing the bill.

The Trump megabill (Senate version) would upend Medicaid expansion and healthcare funding in NC, which is the main reason Sen. Thom Tillis is opposing it.

Here's how the cuts would likely play out: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol

When the Rule of Law Is Under Siege, Women Lawyers Must Rise | Law.com These legal trailblazers who came before us—women who fought to be admitted to law schools, to stand in courtrooms, to sit on the bench—did so not only for themselves, but for future generations.

I recently co-authored a piece with @cohen489.bsky.social urging women lawyers to rise in upholding the values of the legal profession during this pivotal time in our country.
