January 6 Grassroots Toolkit

January 6, 2021, was a violent and deadly attack against all Americans ⏤ against our country, our democracy, and our freedom as voters to choose the leaders that represent us so that we have a government of, by, and for the people.

So exactly one year later, Americans across race, place, party, and background held candlelight vigils to say: In America, the voters decide the outcome of elections. The promise of democracy is not a partisan issue but a calling that unites us as Americans. To prevent this kind of attack from happening again, our elected leaders must pass urgent legislation that will protect this country from anti-democratic forces who are continuing their efforts to destroy it.

 

Although the January 6 Day of Remembrance has come and gone, this Toolkit contains good information that the Detroit League wants to widely share. Thank you in advance for your commitment to LWV and for empowering voters and defending democracy.
