This League at the Library event will take place on 3/9 from 1-3 pm at the Micanopy Branch Library and will be an inside event. We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to man the table.

During LWVAC's 2024 Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Campaign for the 2024 Election Season, the Voter Services team is organizing multiple Alachua County Library tabling events. The goal is to have a table at each of the 12 libraries once a month for 2 hours at peak times until November. We hope to increase League visibility and engage with current and potential voters, especially young people.

The Meet & Mobilize Collaborative Initiative was formed from the Meet & Mobilize event in January. The collaborative is made up of nonpartisan community organizations, including Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. Delta Sigma Zeta Chapter, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. Gainesville Alumnae Chapter, The Visionaires Club, The Links Inc. Gainesville Chapter, and LWV of Alachua County. The aim is to create meaningful partnerships as we enter the 2024 election season through education, engagement and empowerment. It is evident that our voices are more vital when we unite and collaborate; it is a testament to the power of collective action. Working together will strengthen and maintain our democracy and our community.

Action Alerts

The League of Women Voters of Florida has played a significant role in crafting legislation (Senate Bill 904 & House Bill 1525) that avoids delays in determining voter eligibility. These sort of delays can lead to voter suppression or disenfranchisement if eligible individuals are not allowed to vote due to unresolved issues.

The clock is ticking and Senate Bill 904 & House Bill 1525 have yet to have a hearing. Tell legislative leadership to give these crucial pieces of voting rights legislation a hearing ASAP!
