Understand, Organize, Change the World
Before taking a position on an issue, the League of Women Voters undertakes a thorough process to study the issue, examine different aspects of it, discuss pro's and con's, and finally, come to a consensus about policy. These "consensus studies" are conducted nationwide. Local Leagues are actively involved in studying the issue, reaching a consensus locally, reporting the results up the chain, and thereby contributing to the resulting national positions.
The League of Women Voters has taken positions on numerous issues related to voting rights, including expanding voter access, redistricting, money in politics, and fighting voter suppression. The League has also taken positions on health care reform, the environment, the US Census, and immigration.
