Make Democracy Work
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization encouraging informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy.
Welcome
The goal of the League of Women Voters is to empower citizens to shape better communities worldwide. We build citizen participation in the democratic process, offer civics education to promote better understanding of government and to better enable people to seek positive solutions to public issues, study key community issues in an unbiased manner, and act after study and member agreement to achieve solutions in the public interest on key community issues at all government levels.
We believe in respect for individuals, diversity, and the empowerment of the grassroots both within the League and in communities.
We will act with trust, integrity and professionalism, operate in an open and effective manner to meet the needs of those we serve, both members and the public, take the initiative in seeking diversity in membership, and acknowledge our heritage as we seek our path to the future.
