The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization.   After comprehensive study and consensus, it supports issues and legislation. Read the LWV positions on national, state and local level. Some key issues on the national level include:

  • Voter Suppression
  • Expanding the Electorate
  • Redistricting
  • Money in Politics
  • Fair Elections
  • Health Care Reform
  • Immigration
  • Global Warming

On the state and national level, League members rely on the Issue specialists following specific bills and legislative activity in Springfield and Washington. When a specialist sees that members should be involved, an action request is sent out as a TFA (Time for Action – also called Action Alert). This is a vital part of being informed and active members of our democracy.
