| WHAT
IS LWV ?
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization
of women and men, encourages informed and active participation in
government, works to increase understanding of major public policy
issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
We register voters and defend voting
rights. We monitor government activities from city
councils and school boards to state legislatures and the U.S. Congress.
We educate citizens about their rights and responsibilities.
We sponsor candidate forums and public issues forums.
We study issues in order to arrive at member consensus.
And we take action by lobbying,
testifying, and educating legislators on issues we care about. As
a nonpartisan body, the League takes action on issues. We
do not support or oppose candidates or parties.
