League of Women Voters of Georgia

We have been hard at work for the people of Georgia! Here’s a little behind the scenes of the planning session yesterday between our VP of Organizational Management, VP of Voter Services, and VP of Advocacy!

Fact-checking is crucial in the digital age, especially during elections, to prevent the spread of disinformation. By verifying the accuracy of the information we consume, we protect the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that our decisions are based on truth rather than deception.

On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified marking a historic milestone in the fight for women’s suffrage. Today, we honor the perseverance and courage of those who fought for equal rights and the progress that has been made since. Let’s continue to fight for voting rights and a representative democracy for all!

Today marks the 59th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965—a landmark legislation that transformed democracy in America. As we celebrate this milestone, let's honor the struggle and sacrifices made to secure the right to vote for all. Our voices matter; our votes count.

July is home to Disability Pride Month, with today marking the 34th anniversary of the passage of the ADA! The League is committed to protecting the rights of voters with disabilities, today and every day. Just days ago, we saw a win for voters in Ohio, as a federal court struck down a state law that violated the ADA!
