Where We Stand

The League of Women Voters takes action on an issue only when we have a position addressing that particular issue. Members must study and come to consensus on an issue in order to form a position. This thorough grassroots process ensures our advocacy is well considered by a broad range of people, understood by members, and we have a sense of the political environment.

The League studies issues and develops positions to use in advocacy and education.
