League Action Alert

On Feb 28, LWV issued a statement in response to the Trump administration’s closing of civil rights offices in agencies across the federal government, which included a quote from Celina Stewart: “The President claims to value the contributions of Black and brown people in this country, but his actions show the opposite — eviscerating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, weakening the Department of Justice’s civil rights work, and now gutting necessary civil and equal rights offices across the federal government.”
Action Alerts:
- Urge your members of Congress to stand up for our democracy & oppose the SAVE Act.
- LWV supports Economic Blackouts
The national boycott is directed at large companies rolling back / eliminating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs, including Target, Walmart and Amazon.
