LWV Diablo Valley Action Committee

LWV Diablo Valley Action Committee

League members take action on issues where we have studied the topic and have reached conclusions that are embodied in our positions. Our Action/Advocacy Committee meets monthly (see Calendar of Events). Recent activities have included advocacy for affordable housing proposals in several cities, support of extending the county healthcare plan to undocumented immigrants, and statements on the Concord Naval Weapons Station re-use plans. 

Action Committee meeting notes are posted below for League members only. Remember to log in to view the notes. (The notes can also be viewed on the Members Only page, which can be accessed from the left navigation menu once you are logged in.)
