Now that the Legislative Session is over, our Under the Dome newsletter will take a break for the summer season. Here's one last THANK YOU to our League community for supporting our advocacy efforts, taking action on critical bills, and making democracy work.
 

Take a deep breath. We survived the legislative session, and now it's time to switch our focus to that most vital part of the year — elections. 

The June 14 primary election is just around the corner, and the League will send out trained nonpartisan volunteers to observe poll locations around the state. 

The Legislature will come back into session today, May 9, to deal with any possible vetoes issued by the Governor. Though anything can happen, we expect them to adjourn sine die at end of the session. It's been a remarkable season for the League. 

Mother's Day is rooted in activism and pacifism. It started in 1858 when Ann Jarvis organized “Mother’s Work Days” to improve sanitation and reduce deaths related to polluted water in her Appalachian community. She would spend her lifetime organizing to improve the lives of others.
