To achieve the League's vision of a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate, LWV advocates on issues like voting rights as well as “urgent issues." Urgent issues include social issues that impact people’s ability to participate equitably in our democracy, including sex and gender equality, environmental and gun policies conducive to public health, immigration reform, and the ability to make reproductive choices.

See an overview of LWVUS’ recent work on urgent issues divided into advocacy with Congress and the executive branch and public education.
