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. We work together to stay informed, educate League members, and strategize about steps we can take to defend our democracy. Our actions and non-partisan advocacy are especially urgent in this pivotal moment of our democracy.

Our Action/Advocacy Committee meets monthly. (See event notices below or on the list of Events.)

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

California state Senators are elected every four years. The terms are staggered: those from even-numbered districts elected in one statewide General Election, and those from odd-numbered districts two years later. This creates a problem when district lines are redrawn every ten years.
