Why become a member?

Because you want to make a difference. You know the future depends on people like you-people learning about the issues, speaking out and seeking positive solutions to the problems confronting our communities and our country. When you join the League of Women Voters, you’re doing something good for democracy – and good for you. As a member of the League, you will:

  • Stay Informed About Issues and Government
  • Make Your Voice Heard
  • Sharpen Your Skills

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.
