A Special Message from LWVMI President Christina Schlitt
League members,
We are going through unprecedented times that challenge our mission to defend democracy and empower voters.
We have a positive direction to take, however. The League will be working to encourage passage of HR1⏤For the People Act. The common-sense reforms in this legislation, which are deeply popular and have passed in many states and localities, aim to accomplish three overarching goals:
- Protecting and strengthening the sacred right to vote.
- Ending the dominance of big money in politics.
- Implementing anti-corruption, pro-ethics measures to clean up government.
Without structural democracy reform, our nation will remain unable to fully address important substantive priorities for the American people, such as expanding affordable healthcare and stopping the spread of COVID-19, protecting the environment, and creating millions of good-paying jobs (excerpted from Dylan Vargas, LWV National).
Attached are links to the bill.

Be safe. Be well.
Christina Schlitt, President LWVMI
