June 19th is , a day to commemorate the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved people in the United States. However, the fight for Black liberation was not resolved with the end of slavery and the US Civil War, and this day reminds us of the injustice and brutality in our nation's history. ❤️🖤💚

LWVEA wants to highlight the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," Opal Lee! As an organization dedicated to empowering voters and defending democracy, the League is committed to building a future of progress and equity for all. Take a moment today and learn more about Opal and her story!

Just as we declare in our advocacy for reproductive justice that full rights to our bodies are a requirement of true democracy, we advocate for q***r liberation by declaring that full rights to our identity are fundamental to real democracy. Q***r Americans living their truth are an unimpeachable part of this country's promise to be by the people and for the people.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈
