Mission Statement
What Is the League of Women Voters' Mission? The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. What Does the League Do Now? The League of Women Voters is a peoples' organization (not just women). Since 1920, the League has fought to improve our government and engage all Americans in the decisions that impact their lives. Formed from the movement that secured the right to vote for women, the centerpiece of the League’s efforts remain to expand participation and give a voice to all Americans.
