The United States is in a constitutional crisis. Now is the time to band together to defend our constitution, protect the rule of law, demand the preservation of checks and balances, safeguard the right to vote, and build a democracy where every person and every voice counts.

I commit to:
- Take action by voting and volunteering to ensure our freedom to vote is protected.
- Mobilize in nonviolent efforts to hold government accountable.
- Stay informed about the policies and decisions that affect us all, combat disinformation, and amplify the voices and stories of those most impacted.

To commit to Unite and Rise in the fight for democracy with LWV of Wisconsin, go to this commitment form.

ACTION: The Beloit League Board approved a letter writing campaign to Governor Evers regarding opening voting to those in jail/prison who have been convicted of felony offenses. There are currently two states (Vermont and Maine) that allow all citizens to vote, no matter what their judicial status may be. In Wisconsin, felons may not vote until they are “off paper”, meaning they have completed all time and all fees/fines that have been ordered by the court and/or probation. This may not be consistent for each person convicted. We are encouraging all our league members, as well as friends and family members, to write to Governor Evers and/or your state representative or senator. See the templates HERE

The Federal Judiciary Consensus Group met on April 12

Beloit League members discussed the federal judiciary consensus questions and submitted their answers to the National League. The study's purpose included addressing concerns and clarifying judicial accountability, transparency, independence, and ethics.  The scope addresses the Supreme Court as well as the other Article III federal courts.
