Celebrate with us the League of Women Voter's 100th Anniversary! The national organization was founded on February 14, 1920, after 70 years of struggle for women's suffrage. Although the 19th Amendment, passed six months later, granted women suffrage, it was not until the 1965 Voting Rights Act that voting rights for racial minorities throughout the country were enforcibly secured.

She Is Me: Meet League people protecting the future of our democracy.
​What is She Is Me? 

A century ago, our founders believed that citizens should play a critical role to inform voters and advocate on public policy issues.

The LWVUS has launched the #SheIsMeLWV campaign to celebrate 100 years of League work through the inter-generational stories of our real League of Women Voters members - and the generations after them that are working to keep that vision alive.
​
100 years ago, we won the right to vote. Today, we are committed to protecting it. Learn more about how you can help.
The purpose of the League is to Make Democracy Work®.  We:
  • Register and educate voters through our work in VOTER SERVICES
  • ​Take Action based on our positions through ADVOCACY
  • Inform and educate the community on issues by League PROGRAMS
Get involved in our work--to engage with elected officials, empower new voters and learn about issues that impact your community. ​​
We encourage citizens to register and vote and provide nonpartisan voter information about voting procedures, ballot issues, candidate opinions and public policy issues.

​Support the League with your contribution.
The League takes action and influences public policy through education and advocacy on positions to support or oppose local, state and national  issues and legislation.
