League Membership

The League is a membership organization open to any person 16 years old and older who subscribes to the purpose, principles and policies of the League.

There are over 360,000 members of the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS). There are Leagues in every state, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC and the Virgin Islands. League structure mirrors our representative system of government. As there are local, state and national levels of government, so are there local, state and national Leagues.

We are the Los Angeles League and represent the greater Los Angeles area.

Testimonials from our Members

“Since moving to LA, LWV has always been my resource for detailed information on ballot
propositions. When I wanted to get more involved, it was only natural that I gravitated to LWV
to volunteer. As a former Board member, I shared LWV events and activities as a resource for everyone!”

 -- British Wagya, Fomer LWVGLA Board Member

"In the past year—during a pandemic and recession—our democracy has faced extraordinary
challenges, including election disinformation, voter suppression, and government corruption.
As a young LGBTQ+ member of the League of Women Voters LA, I felt a strong duty to get
more involved and decided to join the Board of Directors in June 2020. The organization has
been working harder than ever to continue its invaluable educational and advocacy work, in
particular for our city's historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities."

 -- Chance Kawar, Former LWVGLA Board Member Coro Fellow
