PROTECT THE VOTE
With voting rights under assault nationwide, it's critical that we pass the NJ Voter Empowerment Act! It passed the Assembly! Contact the NJ Senate to pass the Act.
LWV condemns the US Supreme Court’s dismantling of the Voting Rights Act in the 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais.
Thank the Senate champions who opposed the SAVE Act, which makes it harder to vote.

Educate. Advocate. Empower.

NONPARTISAN
The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.
