The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County will Register Voters at Mission Plaza on May 31 and June 14
San Luis Obispo, CA – The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County will provide voter registration and other voter services at Pride in the Plaza on May 31 and again at the Juneteenth Celebration on June 14.
Pride in the Plaza, the centerpiece of Pridefest 2025, runs from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on May 31. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers announced the end of slavery in Galveston, Texas. The Juneteenth Celebration will be held from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on June 14. This year’s theme is “We’re Still Here – Standing Together.”
The rights of American voters are under attack. From gerrymandering voting districts, to erecting barriers to register to vote or change your name, address or political affiliation on your voter registration, to challenging the legitimacy of vote-by-mail, efforts to suppress the vote and limit the franchise are alive and well in our nation and our state.
The League seeks to ensure that all qualified Americans are registered to vote. To register or update your registration, to learn your rights, visit the League booth at Pride in the Plaza on May 31 and again at the Juneteenth Celebration on June 14.
The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County is a nonpartisan, grassroots civic organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Membership in the League is open to people 16 years and older, of all gender identities. With more than 100 years’ experience, the League is one of America’s oldest and most trusted civic nonprofit organizations.
