League Positions Start With Knowledge

The study of government issues is a foundational League activity. The League process for study has a solid reputation for in-depth citizen explorations of issues. League positions are proposed based upon careful study, and then are adopted by member consensus.

The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing any political party or any candidate, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

As an organization dedicated to both voter education and advocacy, the League takes strong stances on policy issues relating to voting rights, civil rights, and other issues of importance to members and the public.
