In 2019 the League of Women Voters of Oklahoma County:

• participated in a campaign to encourage Senator Lankford to recommend a hearing on HR1, the For The People Act.
• worked with the Coalition of the Underheard on determining voter priorities.
• worked with Oklahomans Decide Healthcare regarding the expansion of Medicare.

In 2020 we worked on:

• spreading the word about Vote411.
• providing educated information for the Nov 3rd ballot.
• helping the State League distribute the official Voter Guide featuring Clara Luper.
• supporting Marilyn Artus at the Capitol for the national HerFlag event.

We are truly a grassroots organization...

The League of Women Voters takes action on an issue or advocates for a cause when there is an existing League position that supports the issue or speaks to the cause. 

Positions result from a process of study. Any given study, whether it be National, State, or Local, is thorough in its pursuit of facts and details. As the study progresses, a continuing discussion of pros and cons of each situation occurs. Prior to the results of the study being presented to the general membership, study committee members fashion consensus questions that are then addressed by the membership. 

Additional discussion, pro and con, takes place as members (not part of the study committee) learn the scope of the study. After the members reach consensus, the board forms positions based on that consensus. 

It is the consensus statement -- the statement resulting from the consensus questions -- that becomes a position. Firm action or advocacy can then be taken on the particular issue addressed by the position. Without a position, action/advocacy cannot be taken
