If we want to create a more inclusive democracy that represents the diverse needs of its people, we must empower young voters. 

Learn why young voters are so important and how you can support them!

Reflecting on the last five and a half years, I am so proud of both the impact the League has had on our democracy and the growth this organization has seen under the leadership of me and my partners in justice, Chris Carson, and Dr. Turner. Here are a few of my favorite moments.  

Caucuses "are meetings run by political parties that are held at the county, district, or precinct level." In the months before a presidential election, several states hold caucuses where candidates vie for party support. Caucus participants then vote for the candidates they support; the number of votes each candidate receives determines how many party “delegates” will be sent to support that candidate at the party’s convention.

Our president, the late Dr. Deborah Ann Turner, shared many moments of wisdom. We hope these will inspire you in the days to come.

This year, we've seen firsthand how registering people to vote creates a stronger, more representative America. Americans are taking part in our democracy in full force – and now is our chance to make sure they’re ready to vote. 

Voters deserve to hear directly from the candidates campaigning to represent us at the highest level.

There are countless applications and issues within AI. The League's primary interest is in the potential impacts of AI on our elections. It is part of our world, and it will likely continue to become even more integrated into our everyday lives, in ways both visible and invisible. 

In 2023, Leagues across the US worked diligently to achieve a remarkable number of wins in litigation, voter registration, civic engagement and education, and more. Below are 6 of our greatest accomplishments.
