“For the Veterans I Love

I was thinking about the 250th Anniversary quilt I made for the League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn and thought what a PERFECT gift for the veterans in my life. I really don’t need another quilt (I’m a quilter after all), but I think this quilt is a perfect way to thank those veterans in our lives for their service and sacrifice. I bought 5 tickets, and should I be lucky enough to win, I know EXACTLY who I will give it to.

Maybe there’s a veteran in your life that you would love to thank by gifting them this quilt. In doing so, you can assure that veteran that, by supporting the work of the LWV, you are continuing their work of defending our democracy and upholding the Constitution.” - Lynn Bruno, LWVGE Co-President

Congress is back in session this week with its focus set on ways to pass the reconciliation bill.

The bill would provide BILLIONS of additional dollars to the ICE and CBP -- the very agencies terrorizing our communities.

Call your Senators and tell them to REJECT additional funding: https://www.lwv.org/take-action/tell-congress-no-more-ice-and-cbp-funding
