The Program/Advocacy Committee Invites You to a Potluck
New Members Are Our Guests
Wednesday, January 7, 5:00 p.m.
Montview Presbyterian Church
The Program and Advocacy Committee would like to invite newer members to be our guests at a member potluck so you can get to know us, learn what the heck is meant by “Program” in League, and voice your ideas about topics or presenters you would like to hear at our monthly educational events. We’ll also let you know more about the Observer Corps and advocacy initiatives of League.
Please join us and Mary Jefferson, Chairperson of the Membership Committee for food and dialogue. Seasoned members (pun intended), especially those who are interested in learning more about what the Program/Advocacy committee does, are encouraged to join us as well and contribute to the potluck table.
Please register to let us know you are coming so we can plan the amount of food and beverages we will need. Register here.
Sue Stark, Co-Director of Program and Advocacy

by January 8th to reserve seats | Update: League of Women Voters of the United States v. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
As you know, LWVUS filed a lawsuit against US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the US Department of Homeland Security for enacting a new rule that bars nonpartisan civic engagement groups (that’s us!) from providing voter registration and civic engagement at administrative naturalization ceremonies. LWV Colorado is one of five leagues involved in the lawsuit and LWV Denver provided supporting information.
Yesterday, December 17, League lawyers filed a motion for a preliminary injunction.
What Is a Preliminary Injunction? A preliminary injunction is a request to the court to temporarily pause the USCIS Voter Registration Ban while litigation plays out. If granted, USCIS would be temporarily prevented from enforcing the Ban while the court considers and resolves the merits of the claims. No action is anticipated from the court on this preliminary injunction filing until after the New Year.
As we await a response to our motion from the government, we hope in the new year the League will be reunited with new citizens at administrative naturalization ceremonies. | Upcoming Denver League Events
