Why You Should Join the League of Women Voters
By joining the League, donating to its efforts, and participating in its work, you can support the three cornerstones of freedom and not take freedom for granted. Benjamin Franklin said of our form of government, "A Republic - if you can keep it." Martin Luther King wrote in his final book, Where Do We Go From Here: "What is freedom? It is, first, the capacity to deliberate or to weigh alternatives...Second, freedom expresses itself in decision...A third expression of freedom is responsibility."
Democracy is not a spectator sport. We are fighting to protect it, by promoting voter rights and fair elections. Join us, the League of Women Voters of Alameda, and help support the cornerstones of freedom.
The LWV of Alameda is the ideal organization for both the politically sophisticated and the novice. Elected officials and politically engaged men and women support our efforts knowing that an informed citizenry is fundamental to the success of our government and civic institutions. This is why educating Alameda citizens about elections and vital community issues is a key priority for our League.
Additionally, all of our members find the League a useful source of information on current issues and a place to network and share ideas free of partisan politics. For those new to the political process, the League of Women Voters of Alameda provides plentiful opportunities to learn about current events and issues. The LWV of Alameda is a place to develop a keen understanding of public policy issues and the political process in a supportive atmosphere.
