City, School Board and Board of Supervisors Meetings
Because the COVID-19 global pandemic makes it unsafe for the public to gather, all regular meetings of the Palo Alto City Council and PAUSD Board of Education will be live-streamed until further notice. No physical meeting place will be provided.
Also, pursuant to the provisions of California Governor’s Executive Order N-29-20, issued on March 17, 2020, certain meetings of the Board of Supervisors and Board Policy Committees will be held by teleconference only.
See this article for how to live-stream and to participate in meetings of these three public bodies.

League of Women Voters CEO Virginia Kase responded to the U. S. Senate's passage of the CARES Act:
“... The $400 million included in this third relief deal is a mere fraction of what is needed for all voters to safely cast their ballot with confidence this November. The League of Women Voters called for a minimum investment of $2 billion dollars to states and the District of Columbia to appropriately increase vote by mail, expand early voting and online registration, and implement safety provisions to ensure voting facilitates and poll workers are protected...."

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 which 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.
Watch the 1-minute SHE IS ME VIDEO! Progress is in our DNA.
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.
