Dr. Deborah Turner, the League of Women Voters of the United States president, passed away January 28th from complications from a pulmonary embolism.  
 
A fearless advocate for voting rights and women's rights, Dr. Turner devoted her life's work to impacting meaningful changes in the lives of voters across the nation. As the 20th president of the national voting rights organization, Dr. Turner played a pivotal role in fighting for a more fair and representative union, while uplifting racial equity in the League's mission work. 
 
There is a memorial page for Dr. Turner that includes memories and inspiration honoring a great life.
 

Fair Redistricting Maps 
 
The League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) is committed to fair redistricting maps as part of Voting Rights work. Within our state, CHANGE Illinois is working on this effort.  League members have a chance to be involved in advocating for an independent citizens' commission to oversee federal and state redistricting.
