“We the People January 6th
Day of Remembrance and Action” Vigil on January 6, 2022 Duluth City Hall, 411 West 1st St. noon - 1:00pm Masks are Required |

January 6, 2022, marks one year since the violent insurrection of our national Capitol. This was the start of ongoing attacks on our democracy throughout the year resulting in many states passing laws that make it harder to vote. On January 6, we will come together to build community, condemn the actions from the insurrection, and work to pass key voting rights legislation.
The League of Women Voters of Duluth is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
We the People January 6th Day of Remembrance and Action” has three important goals:
TAKE ACTION NOW
1. Contact Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith to thank them for their work to pass legislation that
protects voting rights - The Freedom to Vote Act and The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
2. Contact President Joe Biden and urge him to make the passage of these two Senate bills a priority.
3. Vote!
