To the Editor:
The rights of American voters are under attack. From gerrymandering voting districts, to erecting barriers to register to vote or change your voter registration, to challenging the legitimacy of vote-by-mail, attempts to suppress the vote and limit the franchise are alive and well in our nation and our state.
The League of Women Voters is working to combat these anti-democratic efforts and to ensure that all qualified Americans are registered to vote and can freely exercise that right.
As part of this effort, the League will provide voter registration and other voter services at two upcoming events at Mission Plaza. We will be at Pride in the Plaza on May 31 and again at the Juneteenth Celebration on June 14.
Pride in the Plaza, the centerpiece of Pridefest 2025, runs from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on May 31. The Juneteenth Celebration, marking the day in 1865 when Union soldiers announced the end of slavery in Galveston, Texas, will be held from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on June 14.
To register to vote or to update your registration, to learn your rights, or to find out more about the League, visit the League booth at Pride in the Plaza or at the Juneteenth Celebration.
The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County is a nonpartisan, grassroots civic organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
