Hopes of a New Era of Progress, Peace, Prosperity, and Unity
Ahead of the Inauguration, the League of Women Voters of the United States sent a letter to President Biden and the Transition Team, congratulating them on their victory and outlining the ways in which the League hopes to work together with the new administration to advance our democracy towards a brighter future for all. After a challenging year exacerbated by COVID-19 and deadlock in the U.S. Congress, our democracy faced many trials but stood firm. Despite a global pandemic and expansive civil unrest, more voters turned out to vote than ever before in U.S. history. Now, in 2021, a new year also ushers in a new era. At the League, it is our hope that we will be able to work in step with the current administration to achieve these initiatives, outlined as follows. Below are the LWV priorities aimed at working toward a better democracy, together.
