While Atlanta and Austin, the capital cities of Georgia and Texas. are separated by more than 900 miles, the communities are connected through our histories and more recent voter suppresssion efforts.

So why are we bringing this up now? Because it matters now, more than ever.

Over the last few years, Georgia and Texas voters have seen a number of legislative actions passed into law that have made voting more difficult.

On Monday, October 21 (8 pm EST/7pm CST) join the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s award-winning journalist Tia Mitchell as she moderates “A Generational Dive into the Political Ties That Bind Us.” This engaging (and exciting) conversation will feature Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, LWVAF President Charis Johnson, and many of our nation’s strongest voices for equality and justice.

You can catch this must see/must hear conversation by tuning in online via:

Join us Aug. 26 – Aug. 30 for our Women's Inequality Day campaign.

August 26, otherwise known as Women's Equality Day, marks the anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted some women the right to vote. Yet today, women have fewer rights than they'd had in decades. To recognize this, we acknowledge Women's Inequality Day.

Our 2024 campaign centers around empowering women to make their voices heard at the ballot box by equipping them with essential voter information. We're highlighting our free, bilingual one-stop-shop for nonpartisan election information, VOTE411.org.

We may not be equal under the laws of our nation, but together, our power is undeniable. Learn how you can get involved: LWV.org/WID

You won’t want to miss this unforgettable evening, including a panel discussion following the performance with the next CEO of the League of Women Voters, Celina Stewart, and TBA additional panelists.
