Dear League Members and Friends,

As we welcome the crisp air of autumn, I’m reminded of the importance of staying engaged and active in our communities, particularly as we approach another critical election season. It’s an exciting time for our League, as we continue to advance our mission to empower voters and defend democracy.

“Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part.”— John Lewis, U.S. Congressman and Civil Rights Leader

As a service to our community, The League of Women Voters of the South Bend Area publishes the Citizen's Guide to Representative Government, a comprehensive collection of contact information for local, state, and national government offices, plus St. Joseph County voting information.

Local libraries, public offices, and businesses distribute the print edition the Citizen's Guide, and they are always available at community events where the League is present.
