Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Our Mother Lode unit was begun in 2017 by a small group of women and men who were concerned about the democratic process in our local communities. We have grown to nearly 100 members and reach hundreds more through our registration/education events, candidate forums, monthly newsletter, and website. We became an official League in 2021. 

We are grassroots and local; citizens with a mission to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy. We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate in our government.
