Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.

The League of Women Voters (LWV) is a nonpartisan, grassroots nonprofit dedicated to empowering everyone to participate fully in American democracy. With active Leagues in all 50 states and more than 700 communities, we engage in advocacy, education, litigation, and organizing to protect every American’s freedom to vote. The League is a federated membership organization proud to be women-led and over 100 years old, emerging directly from the women’s suffrage movement in 1920. 

Our Local League’s Primary Efforts

  • Provide trained, qualified, unbiased speakers and volunteers for candidate forums and issue presentations.
  • Distribute voter information and promote voter registration, focusing on underrepresented groups.
  • Engage all in activities that Get Out the Vote (GOTV).
  • Educate young voters, especially in high schools, because they become lifelong voters when they start early!
