League of Women Voters Education Fund

Mission

Established in 1957, the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) is a citizen education and research organization. LWVEF provides research, publications and forums on public policy issues and disseminates information and training that helps citizens be thoughtfully engaged in the democratic process. The LWVEF helps Americans perform their civic duties, including exercising their right to vote, particularly those at the greatest risk of disenfranchisement. Drawing on the League's reputation as a trusted convener, we also facilitate dialogues that enable communities to bridge political and ideological divides and find common ground on issues of greatest concern, from terrorism to global poverty.

Vision

We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate.

Goals

1.Expanding Voter Access Increased accessibility to the electoral process is integral to ensuring that every American can exercise their right to vote.
2.Educating Voters Why It Matters: The leaders we elect make decisions that affect our daily lives. Elections are our chance to stand up for what matters most to us.
3.Fight Voter Suppression Voter suppression measures often target specific groups based on race, ethnicity, political affiliation, age, or other aspects of voters’ identities.
