Read more about our LWVMC Honorees and their exemplary contributions to Metro Columbus  communities with compassion and democratic means.

Recipients of the Democracy In Action Award are recognized for outstanding participation in civic affairs.  Recipients are not necessarily members of the League, but they embody, as does the League, a strong belief that our democratic system of government works best when citizens are active and informed.  Democracy In Action Award winners demonstrate a long-term commitment to and zeal for increasing the level of political activism and knowledge within the community.

"Democracy in Action" is our major fundraising event.  The Award ceremony provides the opportunity to come together with friends, supporters, and community leaders to recognize outstanding individuals and groups. It also helps us sustain the very actions that advocate for foundational democratic principles. Your support goes directly to the League's work to protect and defend our democracy. Together we ensure our elections are free, fair and accessible; protect our environment; and reduce the influence of money in our elections.
