League of Women Voters of Colorado

League of Women Voters just issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump's signed executive order, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” that threatens Americans’ freedom to vote and tramples states’ constitutional authority to run their own elections. “Let’s keep it real: this order is not about protecting elections; it is about making it harder for voters — particularly women voters — to participate in them,” said Celina Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of the League of Women Voters of the United States. “This executive order is an assault on our republic and a dangerous attempt to silence American voters. The President continues to overstep his authority and brazenly disregard settled law in this country. To be very clear — the League of Women Voters is prepared to fight back and defend our democracy.

League of Women Voters Responds to Gutting of Civil Rights Offices https://lnkd.in/g5wVbf-m

The League of Women Voters strongly condemns the Trump administration’s efforts to weaponize government against the American people. In just over two weeks, we have seen the erosion of civil rights protections, attacks on immigrant and LGBTQIA+ communities, and the weakening of the Department of Justice’s civil rights work. These actions threaten democracy, human rights, and the integrity of our nation’s institutions. We call on Congress to uphold their constitutional duty, restore checks and balances, and take immediate action to protect the American people.

The League of Women Voters and the Algorithmic Transparency Institute are working together to track and analyze online misinformation about democracy, elections, and key civic issues. By identifying how false narratives spread, we can better inform voters and protect the integrity of our democratic systems. This week’s narratives: – The push to enforce the Comstock Act could create a de facto abortion ban. – Election misinformation spreads around Elon Musk’s role—without evidence. – 65,000 ballots in North Carolina face potential rejection. Disinformation has real consequences. By understanding and countering misleading narratives, we can ensure voters have the accurate information they need. Let’s build a stronger democracy together. ?

Misinformation is one of the greatest threats to our democracy. The Democracy Truth Project (DTP) is tackling mis-, dis-, and malinformation head-on by: ? Communicating the truth ? Advocating for voters ? Strengthening trust in elections ? Equipping communities with fact-based resources In today’s digital world, false information spreads rapidly – eroding public trust and distorting the democratic process. DTP works to ensure every voter has access to accurate, reliable information. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ? Misinformation = False info shared unknowingly. ? Disinformation = False info shared to deceive. ? Malinformation = True info shared to harm. Democracy thrives on truth. Let’s work together to ensure every voter is informed and empowered. #DemocracyTruthProject #DefendDemocracy #ElectionIntegrity Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dvBns9CV

Historic Moment for Women’s History! On January 4, 2025, President Biden signed into law the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Location Act, authorizing the first monument dedicated to women’s history on the National Mall. This historic achievement celebrates the courage and resilience of women who fought for the right to vote and honors their enduring contributions to democracy. The preferred site for this monument is Constitution Gardens, a fitting tribute surrounded by landmarks of our nation's history. The League of Women Voters of Colorado is proud to amplify this milestone. Together, let’s ensure the stories of suffragists inspire future generations.
