Action Items

Contact Your Representatives

Oppose the SAVE Act Suite of Bills

Congress continues to introduce bills that would require voters to present documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to register and/or vote, including the SAVE America Act, the Safeguard Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), and the Make Elections Great Again Act (MEGA).

The SAVE Act would create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents. Tell Congress to reject anti-voter policies

Save Act Action Alert

Calling on Congress to Investigate ICE’s Use of Force

The League of Women Voters of California urges Congress to immediately investigate ICE’s use of force, deployment tactics, and potential violations of civil and constitutional rights. Oversight is not optional—it is a fundamental responsibility.

We encourage all members and supporters to contact their members of Congress and demand:

A full and transparent congressional investigation into ICE’s conduct;
Accountability for any violations of civil rights or misuse of federal authority; and
Immediate steps to ensure federal agencies respect constitutional protections and democratic norms.

The League of Women Voters has joined with leading civil rights organizations, including LULAC and Common Cause, in calling on Congress to act decisively. You can read more about that call to action.
Link to our Government Websites or printable Government Guide Sonoma County to get contact information.

We also reiterate and encourage you to review the League of Women Voters’ 2025 statement condemning the use of federal force against peaceful protestors.

The League will send out calls to action to members and other interested parties from time to time.

You can sign up for ongoing Action Alerts at the National, State, And local Level:
