Take Action and Defend Our Democracy!
VOLUNTEER OR BECOME A MEMBER
Get the most from your League experience by joining a local League! Our members are passionate activists who support our work in all 50 states and in more than 700 communities.
Joining the League of Women Voters is a great way to get involved in your community and play an active role in our democracy. Volunteers work year round to register new voters, host community forums and debates, and provide voters with election information they need. We engage at the local and state levels on legislative priorities and efforts to improve our elections.
Most of the action happens here, from candidate forums and voter registration drives to working with local officials to make your community a better place to live.
