Action/Advocacy: we are also nonpartisan,
but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against specific policies
in the public interest. Examples of these programs would be public forums on
key issues of importance to the community such as environmental issues and
access to health care for individuals with mental health illness.To
conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from
the League of Women Voters Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a
nonprofit educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership
organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4)
corporation.
Your
continued support is appreciated by our team of 50+ women and those we help.
