Our Mission

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

We do not support or oppose any political party or any candidate. We do, however, take action on selected government issues in the public interest.

We operate on a set of principles using our visions, beliefs, and intentions.

The League has two separate and distinct roles.

The League of Women Voters of California Education Fund which conducts our voter service and citizen education activities is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit tax-deductible educational organization.

The League of Women Voters of California, a membership organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation.
