Join the LWV

 

A chance to make difference

• Help voters. If you are interested in building up the general level of citizen participation in the electoral process, you can translate that interest into results by helping in the League's voters service work. Our Community Information Center serves citizens throughtout the year. We publish a legislative directory ... publish candidates guides ... register voters .. sponsor debates ... work in many ways to open up the system.
• Spread some accurate information. If your talents lie in communications, help write articles and fact sheets ... produce a video ... speak to school and community groups ... answer our telephone ... maintain our web page.
• Change the system. help study new issues ... lobby with us ... testify to your local municipality or county council ... participate in our action network.

Remember -- even if you haven't the time for active participation, your membership alone will strengthen our voice.

Who can join?

Membership is open to any person 18 or older (both women and men).

How do I benefit?

You'll get local and state newsletters and a national magazine to keep you current on issues and activities. Because the League functions on all three governmental levels, you will be reading about a wide range of topics: many national issues ... state issues: education, voting process ... local issues: city/county merger or consolidation, property assessments, campaign finance reform, Clean Campaign Committee, and more. If you join a resource committee you will dig even deeper into a topic.
