Register Here | Suffs on PBS
Remember the Suffs theater event at North High School in March? Those of us who attended (and registered voters!) loved it and the enthusiasm of the students for the story. You learn more about the American suffragist movement and the remarkable women who led it. You can see the musical recorded from Broadway tomorrow on PBS as part of Great Performances. | Engage with your members of Congress while they are home on recess
Have something to say to your representatives? Want to say it in person? House and Senate have upcoming "in-district work periods" or recesses coming up on:
- May 25 - June 5
- June 15 - 22
You can find tips, tricks, and resources on the Congressional Recess Guide for Action page on the LWVUS website. | League is Registering Voters at Lush |  | Voting - What You Need to Know in this Critical Year
