Take the pledge to Unite & Rise in the Fight for Democracy

The United States is in a constitutional crisis. Now is the time to band together to defend our constitution, protect the rule of law, demand the preservation of checks and balances, safeguard the right to vote, and build a democracy where every person and every voice counts.

I pledge to:

1. Take action by voting and volunteering to ensure our freedom to vote is protected.

2. Mobilize in nonviolent efforts to hold government accountable.

3. Stay informed about the policies and decisions that affect us all, combat disinformation, and amplify the voices and stories of those most impacted.

The League of Women Voters' Unite & Rise 8.5 initiative aims to mobilize 8.5 million voters using the power of voter engagement as a cornerstone of our democracy. Unite & Rise 8.5 showcases the many ways voters can drive change through advocacy, mobilization, civic education, and engagement. We need you to be a part of this movement and help us grow this network of 8.5 million people who commit to defend our democracy.
