“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
Picture
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:
  • To demonstrate our community’s commitment to a democracy that works for all people.
  • To condemn efforts to subvert free and fair elections.
  • To call for the passing of legislation to protect and strengthen voting rights.
                                                           
                                                  
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!

  • The Freedom to Vote Act: This bill would expand voting rights by expanding early voting and same-day and online registration, creating standards for upholding voter rolls, and authorizing voter registration at new-citizen naturalization ceremonies.
  • The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act: This bill would restore and strengthen aspects of the bipartisan Voting Rights Act of 1965, enabling Americans to protect themselves from voting laws that discriminate based on age, race, ethnicity, and other factors.
