With the League of Women Voters commitment to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy we commit to equity for all voters and the recognition that democracy is strengthened by the inclusion of all the diverse voices within the community.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are not buzzwords; they are commitments to our organizational mission.
In an effort to assist all members in embracing this commitment to DEI we want to educate, enlighten, and provoke discussion around this topic. The following is a guide to DEI materials we feel are most relevant to this goal. It consists of internal resources created by LWV members and staff and external sources recommended by the LWVUS DEI Committee.
As more resources are created or become available to us we will add them to this guide. All resources include the date they were added and newer resources are at the top of the list.
We have split this guide into four categories and invite you to start with the section that is most applicable to where you and your League currently are in your DEI journeys.
If you have questions or success stories for the LWVUS DEI Committee or questions or comments about this guide please contact Christina Davis.
