The League at a Glance

State & Local Advocacy

These structured programs offer a way for LWV members to exercise their right to know by becoming a volunteer lobbyist.

LWV Minnesota’s positions on a broad range of public policy issues (which also includes LWVUS’s positions) are its Program For Action.

From climate change to the Legislature, our task force groups advocate, define action opportunities, and coordinate education.

Nonpartisan forums provide the public
an opportunity to hear first-hand from candidates running for state or local offices.

LWV Minnesota has a presence at naturalization ceremonies across the state, helping new citizens register to vote.

Having a presence at community events and local high schools and colleges allows us to engage with and register eligible voters.

Young people get an opportunity to engage with their government and learn about democracy alongside their peers.

Local Leagues around the state conduct Issue and Education forums to help their communities understand what’s at stake.

LWV Minnesota conducts periodic studies about important issues with regards to voting, the election process, and the legislature.

Join us for annual member conferences, rallies and marches, voter registration events, Centennial activities, or Day at the Capitol.

We offer training at key points during the year for moderating candidate forums, event planning for League events, and more.
