Do you feel the need in this current climate to “do something”? Are you wondering how to contribute more fully and meaningfully in local government? If we believe that “all politics are local,” and are seeking ways to make a difference in our community, region, and state, how better to start than by hearing from our local League of Women Voters. In this session we will learn how the League’s structure offers multiple paths to participation in government and community affairs. Of particular interest are the League’s efforts to spread democracy through outreach to voters and potential voters. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government at all levels and influences public policy through education and advocacy. League issues are grounded in our respected history of making democracy work for all citizens.
