Celebrate Earth Day with the League by telling the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fight climate change.

In 2009, League members came together to develop the League’s Climate Change Task Force. Local and state Leagues are committed to addressing environmental concerns that arise in their communities.

We must let the EPA know that we need to act immediately to protect the future of our planet, including our lives and the lives of our children.

It's amazing what you see when you're taking a 3,000 mile walk! On March 1, climate change activists began walking east from Los Angeles. In November, we will finish our journey in Washington, DC.

A passionate volunteer mentality is in the League history, it’s in our blood. And I see it every day when I come to work and interact with the state and local Leagues across the country.

I’m always amazed about how much gets done for our democracy by volunteers and this week being National Volunteer Week causes me to stop and reflect on how thankful I am for the all volunteers who power our democracy.

Established in 1971, Lobby Corps convenes for briefings on League legislative priorities. They play a key role in promoting League issues and communicating our positions to Congress.

All year long, I work with League volunteers around the country, supporting their efforts to reach and help inform voters through our national voter information site, VOTE411.org.

The LWVUS Young People’s Taskforce (YPTF) was created in 2012 with the mission to seek ways to increase the League’s next generation of League members.

Every time I remember that this is National Volunteer Week, I break into a smile. I am lucky to come to work every day to support women & men around the country who are dedicating their free time to helping voters participate in our democracy.
