The LWVWA has begun a vigorous “Decline to Sign” campaign to block what Advocacy Director Cynthia Stewart calls the most significant challenge to democracy in Washington she’s seen in her lifetime.
IL26-126 would require all voters to have an enhanced drivers’ license or provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in person. Voters who don’t would see their registration canceled.
More information about the campaign against IL26-126 can be found here. Additionally, Stewart, state League first vice president and chair of the Lobby Team, is available to speak with local Leagues and other groups about the initiative and why the League opposes it so vehemently.
Contact Stewart here if you’d like her to present to your local League or other group.
Finally, all local League Communications managers have been provided a social media tool kit to help garner support for the campaign against the initiative. Individual League members are asked to share the posts from their local League website to their personal accounts. Contact LWVWA staff Carolyn Stewart here for assistance.
