2021-22 Legislative Advocacy

The League remains focused most intensively on its Making Democracy Work (MDW) campaign: voting and elections, redistricting, and opposition to constitutional convention resolutions. The League, as always, will attempt to advocate on all bills falling within our areas of interest as defined in state and national policies.

The League has built upon an email network established to address 2020 election issues to create the new Making Democracy Work Network of organizations that share our interests. We recognize that participating organizations and individuals may not endorse the League’s specific positions, and we may not endorse theirs, but we hope to ensure that all are well informed about the issues as they develop during the 2021 legislative session. We provide updates to participants through email.
