Statement From League President, Dianna Wynn

Statement From League President, Dianna Wynn

Friend,

As we reflect on the election, we hold multiple truths.

  1. It was a fair, secure election marked by integrity, transparency, and high turnout. This is thanks to the dedication of election workers and civic volunteers nationwide; and

  2. Women's future is unclear.

Given the sexist, racist rhetoric heard throughout this season, we are deeply concerned about the challenges women, LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, and other communities will face in the next administration. 

Like you, we are still processing. Yet as we move forward, we are holding on to two more truths:

  1. We're thankful for the people who empowered millions of voters to make their voices heard, including League members nationwide; and

  2. We remain steadfast in our commitment to advocating for both women and our democracy.

We don't know exactly what will come next, but the League stands strong and ready to speak out against authoritarianism and defend democracy.

We are ready to face the future with your partnership.

In League,

Dianna Wynn

President

League of Women Voters
