Bringing people together
The League was founded in 1920 to "finish the fight" after women won the right to vote. Our aim from the start has been to ensure that citizens are informed about issues and prepared to play their part in community building and government. Through candidate debates, issue forums, community dialogues, online discussions and more, the League helps Americans arrive at answers to issues of local, regional and national concern. We bring people together to overcome conflicts and confusion, focusing everyone's attention on the common good.
Taking action on the issues
The League earned its activist credentials early on as a committed fighter for child labor laws, equal pay for women and other important causes. We were an early advocate for international peace-building through the United Nations and other international organizations in the 1940s. A tireless foe of discrimination in education, employment and housing in the 1960s and 1970s. A strong supporter of action to clean up the environment, stop the arms race and promote equality of opportunity in the 1970s and 1980s. And in the 1990s, we led the successful effort to wipe out remaining obstacles to voter registration in America.
Today, the League is engaged in an exciting new effort to do something about the distrust and hostility that dominate public debate in America:
