LWV "Positions" on Issues
|
What is a position?
The League of Women Voters takes action on an issue only when we have a position addressing that particular issue. We develop a "position" on an issue through study and consensus by our members . Advocacy The League uses its positions to advocate on issues. League advocacy begins with members selecting, studying and seeking consensus on issues which are of public concern. The League uses its positions to advocate for policies, legislation and ballot measures which it believes would best serve the public interest and against proposals which are in conflict with those goals.
