#SCOTUS' decision to overturn Roe V. Wade must be an immediate call to action for Kansas voters. The proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution is damaging for so many reasons, which I'll be discussing more in the final weeks leading up to the vote. But, for today: The first step is to make sure all eligible Kansans are REGISTERED to VOTE. The deadline is Tuesday, July 12th. NOW is the time to reach out to your friends, family, and neighbors. Are they all registered? Do they have a plan to vote? Time to make sure: iwillvote.com

As a former Archivist of the United States, I was surprised to see the recent Washington Post report that the National Archives altered a photo from the 2017 Women’s March as part of a promotional display for an exhibit on the 19th Amendment. In today’s political climate, era of “fake news”, and decreasing trust in public institutions, it is more important than ever that the integrity of records and the stories they tell are available to our citizens.
