Dearborn-Dearborn Heights

League of Women Voters Dearborn-Dearborn Heights

The League of Women Voters was founded in 1920 by leaders of the women’s suffrage movement who believed in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy.

The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy.

An activist, grassroots organization, the League has been working for over 100 years to empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation, at the local, state, and national levels.

Public Statement

The League of Women Voters doesn’t endorse parties or candidates. Our focus is on issues and policies, not partisan allegiance. At times, League positions may align with a party or candidate; at other times, they may not. We do not change our positions based on shifts in party politics. Unlike partisan organizations, we are not beholden to party leadership and can remain grounded in our values regardless of political trends or pressure.
