Where We Stand  

Since 1920, the League of Women Voters has been an activist, grassroots organization
whose leaders believed that people should play a critical role in democracy.  
Throughout the years, the League has continued its dual purposes of education and advocacy,
engaging in studies on representative government, international relations, natural resources, and social policy.

Our advocacy work is guided by our League policies and positions. 
League positions are held at each level of government; National, State and Regional (County).
LWVJeffco can use National and State, along with our local positions
to advocate and influence local government officials toward positive change.

NONPARTISANSHIP
The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties
at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE PUBLIC POLICY
The process used in formulating positions and acting at the grassroots level
makes the League unique and sets the League apart from other organizations.
The fact that we are members of not only a local League,
but a state League and the League of Women Voters of the United States,
makes us a powerful force.
