Where we're going today?
Today, the League is engaged in an exciting new effort to do something about distrust and hostility that dominate public debate in America:
- We’re Advocating for changes in the political process, including campaign finance reforms that reduce special interest influence and make elections fair.
- We’re Getting Voters to the polls, because the system won’t change unless we all hold government accountable and vote.
- We’re Creating Opportunities for citizens to come together to discuss issues and shape solutions for the future.
- We’re Educating Citizens, giving them the knowledge and the tools they need to make a difference.
