Our Members Speak
I joined in 1961, not because I was political, but because I’d had a baby and wanted to talk about something other than diaper rash. I was amazed then, as I am now, at the women in this organization. I have never failed to learn from and be inspired by League members.
Member
I joined the League to actively participate in public policy issues, especially at the local level. Through the action and advocacy program of the League, I have found my voice. Amazing League mentors have helped me translate my passion into action.
Member
I joined the League because I wanted to know more about local elections and the larger political system. As a member, I have seen firsthand the League’s commitment to providing resources for anyone who wants to know more about participating in our Democracy.

Voter Services
The League works to protect voting rights, and challenges efforts to restrict access to the ballot box. We register voters, including our country’s newest citizens at naturalization ceremonies. We are proudly nonpartisan, never supporting or opposing candidates or political parties.
Join the League
Citizen Education
We present candidate forums, publish Voter’s Guides and offer Vote 411 for digital access to information on ballot issues and candidates. We believe the strongest voters are informed voters.
Join the League
Action & Advocacy
We study legislation and government policies then take action, meeting with city council members, speaking up at school board sessions and lobbying
representatives and senators. We’re focused on making our communities stronger and encourage participation in government.
