Even the lightest touch on the pulse of current public discourse reveals strong contention, anger, and fear. The League’s work and goals feel more important than ever: to register those who are eligible to vote, to educate them through voter guides and candidate forums, to help assure ease of voting and the integrity of the electoral process, to advocate for sensible decisions on matters of public policy, to combat disinformation, and to fight gerrymandering and maintain fair districting.

Over the next few months we will be reflecting on whether there are additional opportunities in this landscape for the League to make a constructive difference. We are fortunate to have the robust support of this community: in volunteers, monetary gifts, forum attendees, and readers of the voter guides. That support has endured for more than 75 years.

Reach out to a Board member with any suggestions to further our mission; we can continue to build on this foundation.
