Standing Against Inequality
In light of the hardships facing women in our democracy, the League mobilized to honor Women's Inequality Day [ [link removed] ] on August 26. 35 women-led advocacy organizations joined us in demanding that lawmakers:
1. Pass *voting rights legislation*;
2. Add the *Equal Rights Amendment* to the Constitution; and,
3. Restore* reproductive freedoms* to all who can become pregnant.
This message was shared via video [ [link removed] ]and through a full-page ad in the Washington Post. Thus far, the hashtag #WomensInequalityDay has been seen by 1.8 million people across social media.
Combating Voter Restrictions in Missouri
The League of Women Voters of Missouri joined the Missouri NAACP in filing two lawsuits [ [link removed] ] challenging the anti-voter law passed in May 2022. The law, which went into effect on August 28, would:
1. Eliminate forms of ID that many Missourians rely on to verify their identities at the polls;
2. Restrict [ [link removed] ]voter registration efforts; and,
3. Limit voter outreach.
LWV will continue to share information as the cases progress.
