In the United States, Law Day recognizes the role of law in the foundation of our country and to recognize its importance for society.
Law Day has been criticized as being intended to reduce the influence of May Day (or International Workers‘ Day), a holiday that originated with a general strike on May 1, 1886 in the campaign for the eight-hour day in the United States, which culminated in the Haymarket affair in Chicago. The intent the holiday to reduce worker influence was explicitly noted by President Donald Trump during his 2025 Law Day proclamation.
It became an international day in support of American workers who were being subjected to brutal violence and judicial punishment.

In-person In Washington, DC at the U.S. CAPITOL
Beginning on Ash Wednesday in 2025, clergy and moral leaders, like Dr. William Barber II, stood on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to insist that we must meet the brutality of the present regime with the nonviolent power of a moral movement. Opposition to abuses and extreme policies that will impact nearly everyone in this nation is inevitable; but autocratic regimes want violent and angry opposition that allows them to justify tanks in the street and protestors in jail.
According to the US Department of Justice, American Indian and Alaska Native women are missing and murdered at a rate of more than 10 times the national average. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day is an annual national effort to bring attention to the horrible acts of violence committed against Indigenous people, particularly women and children. Help spread information about the problem.
The League of Women Voters of Colorado works with the League of Women Voters of Wyoming to raise awareness about the problem.

The League of Women Voters commemorates the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, KS et al U.S. Supreme Court decision on May 17, 1954.
According to a 2024 Associated Press investigative report, American schools have been re-segregating for decades. The country is more diverse than it ever has been, with students more exposed to classmates from different backgrounds. Still, around 4 out of 10 Black and Hispanic students attend schools where almost every one of their classmates is another student of color.
The intense segregation by race is linked to socioeconomic conditions: Schools where students of color compose more than 90% of the student body are five times more likely to be located in low-income areas. That in turn has resounding academic consequences: Students who attend high-poverty schools, regardless of their family’s finances, have worse educational outcomes.
Efforts to slow or reverse the increasing separation of American schools have stalled. Court cases slowly have chipped away at the dream outlined in the case of Brown v. Board, leaving fewer and fewer tools in the hands of districts to integrate schools by the early 2000s.
“School integration exists as little more than an idea in America right now, a little more than a memory,” said Derek Black, a law professor at the University of Southern California. “It’s actually an idea that a pretty good majority of Americans think is a good idea. But that’s all.”

The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties commemorates Malcolm X‘s birthday.
In-person In Washington, DC at the U.S. CAPITOL
Beginning on Ash Wednesday in 2025, clergy and moral leaders, like Dr. William Barber II, stood on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to insist that we must meet the brutality of the present regime with the nonviolent power of a moral movement. Opposition to abuses and extreme policies that will impact nearly everyone in this nation is inevitable; but autocratic regimes want violent and angry opposition that allows them to justify tanks in the street and protestors in jail.
Join community members at a vigil protesting the detainment without due process of Jeanette Vizguerra, a community resource who has advocated for immigrant rights, labor protections, and family unity for many years.
Community supporters are also asked to sign the American Friends Service Committee petition to free Jeanette.

Join the League of Women Voters as we celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) - also known as the Motor Voter Act - enacted on May 20, 1993.
The law resulted in voter registration being offered to any eligible person who applies for or renews a driver‘s license or applies for public assistance. It also requires the United States Postal Service to mail election materials of a state as if the state is a nonprofit.
The League of Women Voters was instrumental in getting the NVRA passed. Read more about League‘s role:
https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-women-voters-marks-30th-anniversary-nvra
This landmark legislation has allowed millions of people to register to vote — and the League of Women Voters is a major part of that. In the 1980s and 90s, LWV led the campaign for the NVRA‘s passage. When it was finally signed into law, President Bill Clinton gave the League of Women Voters the pen he used to sign it into law, calling the League "fighters for freedom."
We believe registering and voting is the best way for each of us to decide what happens in our country. The League of Women Voters also registers voters at many events during each year.
Join the League and help us with our mission to register and inform voters.

Local rallies nationwide. See website for events.
Join one of the National Day of Action‘s local rallies nationwide to advocate for health care reform, including single payer health care.
Our health care system is broken beyond repair. Insurance companies and for-profit middlemen create barriers to care and massive administrative waste. These result in unnecessary suffering and deaths. For over 60 years, piecemeal reforms have resulted in higher costs and the worst health outcomes among comparable nations.
This National Day of Action will bring people together locally and nationally from neighborhoods, unions, faith groups, businesses, and all types of civic organizations to join the demand to remove profit from health care and work toward real reform.
