Social Media Policy

The League of Women Voters of Greater Hartford, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

We welcome a diversity of opinions and encourage discussion of the issues. We will be sharing news, stories from other Leagues, ways to get involved and other information.

We designed our website, Facebook and Twitter pages as open forums. We want everyone to feel comfortable participating, so please keep comments and posts clean and relevant.

If comments fall into any of the categories below, we’ll remove them:

• We do not allow graphic, obscene, explicit, or racial comments or submissions. Nor do we allow comments that are abusive, hateful or intended to defame anyone or any organization. We will not tolerate harassment or bullying of any kind. (In other words, be respectful of others and their opinions.)
• We do not allow third-party solicitations or advertisements. This includes promotion or endorsements, in addition to attempts to defame or defraud any third-party organizations or groups.
• In order to maintain nonpartisanship, we do not allow endorsement or opposition of political candidates. Any posts by others about a candidate is not an endorsement or opposition by the League of Women Voters. Posts supporting or opposing individual candidates or political parties will be deleted.
• The League is strictly non-partisan. Any comments specifically promoting or denigrating of a particular political party will be deleted.
• We also do not allow spam. We encourage you to share material with us, but please remain relevant.
• We do not allow comments that suggest or encourage illegal activity.
• You participate at your own risk, taking personal responsibility for your comments, your username and any information provided.
