In the March 19th all-member meetings, participants reviewed “Resisting Threats to Democracy,” the League’s response to the challenges imposed on our constitutional republic by the current administration. Participants then learned how our roles as activists bolster the League’s response by our individual actions, including taking on volunteer assignments that further the mission of the League.
Unite and Rise 8.5
Stemming from an LWVUS program called “Unite and Rise 8.5,” the League aims to define the current constitutional crisis and motivate League members to counteract the effects of the crisis through advocacy, mobilization, civic education, and engagement. You can review the slides presented in the meeting at this
link. The slides include a link to a video showing local Leagues in action around the state.
Note: Some questions came up about the song heard in the video. “It’s Okay to Change Your Mind” was written by Annie Schlaefer of Minneapolis to be sung to ICE agents with a goal to “. . . unite in song and extend a forgiving hand to agents who have been carrying out violent and often illegal raids against both undocumented immigrants and United States citizens.”
