California League of Women Voters (LWVC) Advocacy
Thanks to those who have answered the call for 2025 Action Alerts to support civil rights, election protections, reproductive healthcare and racial justice. The following League-sponsored bills became California Law in 2025:
SJR-1 (Wiener) – Rescinding previous applications for a federal constitutional convention. Rescinds all of California’s prior calls for a Constitutional Convention, closing the door on a process that could have put the Constitution at risk. This bill has passed and is on its way to the federal government to be officially tallied.
SB 42 (Umberg) – California Fair Elections Act. This sends the measure to the November 2026 ballot, giving voters the power to decide whether to lift the ban on public financing of campaigns and reduce the influence of money in politics.
AB 260 (Aguiar-Curry) – Sexual and reproductive health care. Protects access to medication abortion, ensuring that patients, providers, and facilities can continue to provide safe, legal, and accessible reproductive healthcare.
AB 1071 (Kaltra) – Criminal procedure; discrimination. Revises and clarifies procedures for pursuing relief for violations of the Racial Justice Act (RJA) and provides judges more discretion in fashioning a remedy to a violation.
National League of Women Voters (LWVUS) Advocacy
Reject Anti-Voter Policies
The House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require citizenship documentation to register to vote, even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering.
The SAVE Act would create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents.
The SAVE Act is now under review in the Senate. It was introduced in the Senate as S. 128 on January 16, 2025. It needs 60 votes to overcome a potential filibuster, a high bar. Efforts to pass it by unanimous consent have been blocked by senators who oppose the legislation.
If you haven’t already, learn more and use the League’s form to tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act.
