Empowering Voters

Defending Democracy 

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy. We do not support or oppose any political party or any candidate. We do, however, take action on selected government issues in the public interest.

We are actively looking for new members in the Long Beach, Lakewood and Signal Hill areas. We welcome people of all genders ages 16 and older who agree with our purpose, principles and policies. Get involved in EMPOWERING voters by working to educate our community on topics and policies that effect everyone!

In times of division, maintaining our nonpartisan identity helps build trust across communities. It ensures that we remain a credible, reliable voice for voters — all voters. It positions the League to lead efforts that transcend political divides, focused on the American and moral ideals that unite us rather than the partisan battles that seek to divide us. 

Remaining nonpartisan does not mean staying silent. When democracy itself is under threat, voter access is restricted, or misinformation spreads, the League has a responsibility to speak out clearly and forcefully. Our nonpartisan commitment means the League acts based on our policies and principles, not because of political parties. 

We advocate for fundamental rights and freedoms regardless of which political party is in power or which officials are responsible. Focusing on our issues, not affiliations, strengthens our voice and credibility. We hold true to our mission without being beholden to any political agenda.
