Today, the League of Women Voters marks 106 years of standing up for democracy when it has been challenged, undermined, or ignored. Our history is complex and unfinished, but it is defined by a refusal to back down from the fight for equal participation and equal rights. For more than a century, people across generations have organized in moments of uncertainty to hold power accountable and defend the freedom to vote. That work continues now, because democracy survives only when people are willing to protect it.
