Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.
Join Us!!!


THE LEAGUE'S OATH TO DEMOCRACY


We do solemnly swear that we will empower voters and defend our democracy.
That we will faithfully execute our civic responsibility as nonpartisan advocates.
We do this fearlessly, reflectively, and collectively.
We act from a place of hope and collective power.
We affirm that we will work to provide democracy education and election administration support, restore and defend voting rights protections, abolish the Electoral College, protect democracy organizations and fight for reproductive freedoms.
We strive to protect bodily autonomy and defend communities that are targeted based on parts of their identities, such as gender, race, political party, ability and financial status.


For over a century, the heart and soul of League's work has been centering voters' voices in democracy.  We've participated in many of our nation's most pivotal voting rights battles, from women's suffrage to the Equal Rights Amendment to the passage of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

LWV is proudly a nonpartisan organization. And we’re focused on issues that matter to communities. We believe in a strong democracy by and for all people. We stand for the rights and representation of all voters, no matter their political party — not to mention their race, gender, primary language, and more. Above all, we are steadfast in our commitment to empowering voters — never supporting or opposing political parties.

These times require that we remain thoughtful and earnest rather than reactionary and divisive.  We reject any emotion or ploy that seeks to overwhelm us or turn us against our neighbor.  We approach our work with dignity and curiosity, seeking to see the greatest good in every living being.  We focus on solutions rather than problems.

As League continues to grow, we mark the journey into our second century with a determination to transform into an organization with a membership that reflects the beautiful diversity of our community.  While our work is far from done, our century of tried and true experience, positions us as powerful defenders of democracy.  Working with Leagues across the country, the Women Defend Democracy campaign will work to:

  • Provide democracy education and election administration support;
  • Restore and defend voting rights protections;
  • Abolish the Electoral College;
  • Protect democracy organizations and institutions; and
  • Fight for reproductive freedom.

League's work is for and with the people.  Whether we're volunteering to register young voters at a local high school, opposing unfair redistricting practices that will disempower our neighbors, helping our friends and family get informed by setting up state and local candidate debates, or sending our resources to democracy rights groups, we're fighting in the ways we choose, and we can all participate in civic life.

So join us to protect life, liberty, freedom, and justice.
