Support the JRL Voting Rights Advancement Act
We need a fully restored VRA(Voting Rights Act) to defend our democracy and protect the freedom to vote. That is why the League of Women Voters is proud to support the reintroduction of HR14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This vital legislation is needed to fully restore and modernize the VRA and ensure that discriminatory voting policies are stopped in their tracks.

Gov. Cooper initiates N.C. Safe
Gov. Cooper kicks off a new gun safety initiative called N.C. SAFE and it stands for secure all firearms effectively.
This is in response to a skyrocketing number of deaths of children and youths caused by firearm injury and a surge in firearm thefts.
According to the N.C. Child Fatality Task Force, deaths from firearm-related injuries increased 231% from 2012 to 2021 among children and youths in the state.
Guns have now become the leading cause of injury-related death within this population in North Carolina, with an average of 156 children and teens dying by firearms every year.

NC Public Education - State of Emergency
On May 23, 2023, North Carolina's Governor Roy Cooper issued a state of emergency for public education. The current NC General Assembly is considering extreme legislation that would cripple the public education system.
Senate Bill 406 and House Bill 823 will allow billions of public taxpayer dollars to be spent toward private school vouchers with no income limits. It will rob public schools of needed funding and sanctions discrimination.
Contact your local legislators and tell them to oppose SB 406 and HB 823.
