We are nonpartisan, not neutral.

"Remaining non-partisan does not mean staying silent. When democracy itself is under threat, voter access is restricted, or misinformation spreads, the League has a responsibility to speak out clearly and forcefully. Our nonpartisan commitment means the League acts based on our policies and principles, not because of political parties. We advocate for fundamental rights and freedoms, regardless of which political party is in power or which officials are responsible. Focusing on our issues, not affiliations, strengthens our voice and credibility. We hold true to our mission without being beholden to any political agenda."- Celina Stewart, esq., CEO of the League of Women Voters

(The League is not just for women! Everyone 16 and older and interested in democracy is welcome - however you identify!)

Thank you Palo Alto for a very successful event! Over 300 communities across the country did the same!

Together, we re-affirmed that the fight for the right to vote continues.

The film After Selma clearly spells out how strict voter ID laws, voter purges, changing times and locations of polling places, racially gerrymandered voter maps, and disenfranchisement of people with felony convictions silenced millions of voters in the 2016 election, the first presidential election in 50 years without the 1965 Voting Rights’ Act pre-clearance protections. These voter suppression tactics continue today across the country.

This event was a community coalition brought to you by the League of Women Voters of Palo Alto & Rho Delta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. in partnership with, and gratitude to: UAMEZ Church | The Joan Trumpauer Mulholland Foundation | Catalyze & Cultivate Consulting | Spark/Etz Racial Justice Impact Coalition (SERJIC) | Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley | National Coalition of 100 Black Women - Silicon Valley Chapter

"It was enraging and inspiring, encouraging and discouraging.
It reminded us of the work ahead.
We have no other choice."
- Jennifer Dibrienza

"My friends who came are going to
share the movie with their friends...
one was so mad she wanted to cry."
- Aline Yu

* Please note: sometimes the League sponsors or publicizes events with other allied organizations. This happens when the goals/mission/values of the organizations are aligned with League positions (US, California, regional and local) and support or opposition of political parties or candidates is not the organization's primary mission.
