LWVUS Declares United States in a “Constitutional Crisis,” Announces New Initiative to Mobilize Voters
After careful monitoring and analysis, LWVUS has decided that now is the time to sound the alarm: our country is in a full-on constitutional crisis. The foundational principles that have sustained our democracy — checks and balances, the rule of law, free and fair elections — are under direct and sustained attack.
LWVUS has declared a constitutional crisis along with its intention to launch an 8.5 million-strong initiative, called Unite & Rise 8.5. Read the press release here.
Unite and Rise 8.5 will showcase the many ways voters can drive change, including through advocacy, mobilization, civic education, and engagement. The initiative is part of LWV’s Women Defend Democracy campaign.
