the League of Women Voters

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization that encourages informed and active participation in government. Founded in 1920, shortly after women gained the right to vote, its mission is to promote civic engagement, educate voters about the electoral process, and advocate for policies that enhance democracy. The League provides resources like voter guides, hosts candidate forums, and organizes community events to help citizens understand issues and make informed choices during elections. Open to all, it strives to empower individuals and uphold democratic principles through education and advocacy.
