Today, the League of Women Voters of Nevada (LWVNV) announced the official re-launch of the state League with a distinct focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

WASHINGTON – Today, The League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced a new, two-year partnership that will support Girl Scouts’ Promote the Vote program and civic engagement opportunities for Girl Scouts across the country. Building on GSUSA and LWVEF’s long histories of civic engagement, the partnership will connect local Leagues and Girl Scout councils to support Girl Scout troops participating in Promote the Vote, as well as in completing civics badges, earning the Gold Award and more. 

Even if you lack a permanent address, you can register and vote in all 50 states. 

Yet the millions of people in the US who’re experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity face unique challenges to voting.

The LWV of Ohio addressed this issue head-on in a training on Homeless and Housing Insecure Voter Outreach. This blog summarizes top takeaways from experts in the field.

“The mission of the league could not be more critical or more needed,” she told the Capital Journal in an interview amid a return visit to the state that started it all for her. “Our democracy is a gift and it is something that is fragile, and it requires care and attention.”
