Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At its founding over 100 years ago, the League of Women Voters did not embrace diversity and inclusiveness, a practice reflective of a society that continued to segregate and discriminate against Black, Indigenous, and people of color across the country.
As the League today strives to be both transformative and to address historic racism, we are committed to prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice throughout our organization, our work, and our actions.
