LLAW: Make Some Noise - Call the Governor for WV Children and Family services!
by League of Women Voters of West Virginia 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

[image: image.png] Tell Governor Morrisey to support West Virginia families in need! The WV Legislature has approved annual funding to help Family Support Centers, provide childcare subsidies, fund clothing vouchers and make Legal Aid available. These are necessary services that WV families rely on. The governor has delayed sending these funds as typically scheduled, and has hinted that he will withhold this funding based on a manufactured “deficit” of his own creation. There is also a concern that he is contemplating sending this money to businesses owned by his out of state supporters. (WV Watch Article <https://westvirginiawatch.com/2026/05/27/while-tanf-cuts-loom-morrisey-cons…> ) *>>>>> We need all of our voices to apply public pressure to the governor to do the right thing. Take a moment to call the governor’s office at 304-558-2000 or fill out this quick online action alert <https://app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-page?cid=TH2zVONo0lpefWeZCCrGz>from our friends at the Legislative Action Team for Children and Families. <<<<<<*

Check out our new post! As we near the celebration of our Nation's 250th anniversary, the League of Women Voters believes we should all be aware of the Supreme Court's most recent actions to disable the Voting Rights Act. Congress can fix this; it is their duty. https://lwvmorgantown.substack.com/p/voting-rights-act-worth-the-fight [image: 2026-05-31 composed.jfif]
