Members Say this about Joining—
“Our communities are strongest when we help all people to fully participate in them. It’s a straight line from that value to the League’s work on voter registration & information, civic education, and advocacy for voting rights and access.”
“I’m a strong believer in democracy and truth. People need to exercise their right to vote, and the League represents a non-partisan effort to educate voters and encourage informed voting.”
“More than a century after the right to vote was declared fundamental, that right is under attack. Efforts to make it harder for racial minorities to participate in the political process are increasing across the country. I joined the League of Women Voters as one way to fight those efforts.”
“Being a member of a group of like- minded individuals who are devoted to educating citizens about our right to vote and the principles of democracy is invaluable.”
