Today, August 8th, the League of Women Voters of the US is leading a nationwide Day of Action. This past Thursday marked the anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 61 years later, key protections of the VRA have been weakened, and LWV calls on people everywhere to Unite & Rise for Voting Rights.

We had a recent win with the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act - a strong state level Voting Rights Act - becoming law, but the work is far from over. Watch and listen as LWVNJ staff celebrate the victory while looking ahead at barriers to come.

Earlier this week, an impressive group of future leaders convened at LWVNJ’s Trenton headquarters to discuss building power in 2026 and beyond.

This was an opportunity for us to ask how the League can make our spaces more welcoming and engaging for young people, and to build off the energy and vision of the young people in the room.

The participants brought creativity and passion to the table, and we will continue these conversations and actions through a youth-centered space within the league. Interested? Join us! https://loom.ly/7WccfL0

Today, LWVNJ Director of Democracy Erik Cruz Morales attended the 2026 Summer Joint Policy Forum hosted by the Council of New Jersey Grantmakers and the New Jersey Center for Nonprofits.

In a panel called “Counting What Counts: The Stakes of the 2030 Census for New Jersey,” moderator Alana Vega from The Fund for New Jersey led a discussion with Erik and panelist Leila Dickerson from the US Census Bureau New York Regional Office.

To ensure a complete and equitable count across New Jersey, the work starts now!

BIG NEWS: Last year, a new USCIS rule banned the League of Women Voters from registering new citizens at administrative naturalization ceremonies. The League of Women Voters of New Jersey, along with three of our local Leagues - LWV Burlington County, LWV Greater Princeton Area, and LWV Montclair - joined LWVUS and other state and local League to fight back.

Represented by the Campaign Legal Center, we filed a lawsuit and yesterday we had a significant victory allowing LWV to resume registering new citizens at these ceremonies as the case proceeds. No organization has done more voter registration at naturalization ceremonies than the League of Women Voters and it is an honor to welcome new Americans into our democracy.

Great News: In a win for New Jersey voters, a federal court rejected the DOJ's attempt to force New Jersey to turn over our state’s unredacted voter file, which contains voters’ sensitive information like driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. To date, this is the 18th lawsuit (out of 18) the DOJ has lost demanding sensitive personal data from millions of voters across the country.
