From the LWV blog, 1.6.26:
Five years after the January 6 insurrection, we face a constitutional crisis. Our mission and history demand we do everything in our power to make 2026 the year we save our democracy. We can do this through our Unite and Rise program, which includes:
- Empowering voters online: by providing information on tens of thousands of elections and candidates via election information site, VOTE411.org.
- Empowering voters on the ground: through thousands of voter registration events, outreach to young, new, and returning citizens, debates between local candidates, and partnerships to ensure civic information reaches all of us.
- Fighting anti-voter laws: federally and statewide. That means fighting in legal cases, providing testimony in nationwide courts and using action alerts to make it easier for people to advocate for or against the laws which impact them.
- Showing up in partnership: in rallies, across petitions, and so much more. We’re stronger when we stand together. We must continue to ally ourselves with pro-democracy groups and people from all walks of life to ensure a truly representative movement.
- Speaking out against anti-democratic action: be it voter suppression, election interference, misinformation, hateful rhetoric, or anything else that threatens every person’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"We are outraged by the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents in our community. Our hearts are with her loved ones. We stand with the Mayor and City Council in calling for ICE agents to leave the Twin Cities. Constitutionally protected activity by an unarmed individual does not justify deadly force, and we denounce the federal government's continued violation of individuals' due process rights. We demand accountability, transparency, and justice. We will continue to stand with our local leaders and our neighbors to demand safety and dignity for all."
