January 7, 2021 - In light of the domestic terrorist attack at the Capitol of the United States yesterday, the League of Women Voters of Texas President Grace Chimene has issued the following statement:

 

"The peaceful transition of power is not a partisan issue. It is a democracy issue. The League cannot stand by as our democracy is threatened. I am more proud than ever to stand with over 12,000 Texans who are involved with the League of Women Voters of Texas in support of our mission: Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy. We are 101 years strong in Texas and our work is needed more than ever."

 

Looking forward to the Texas 87th Legislature, the League's priority issues are voting rights & election laws and fair redistricting, key components of the democratic process. We encourage all Texans to be part of the process.
