PROGRAM POSITIONS
The League does not take a position on an issue without careful study at the local, state and national levels. We pride ourselves in investing the time to dig deep and find the facts that will inform our members about the issues. The League of Women Voters is respected for its commitment to in-depth research, community involvement and its 101-year history of educating voters.
National Issues Program
Impact on Issues is designed to help League members use LWVUS public policy positions effectively at the national, state, local, and regional levels. The intention is to inspire Leagues to use national positions to act in their own communities.
Both the Principles (broad statements of beliefs) and Positions (specific statements and guidelines) can be used at the state and local levels to develop support for actions taken at those levels.
You can read the current LWV national issue positions in the Impact on Issues Guide PDF below. The 2022-2024 Guide should be available shortly in hard copy on Amazon.

Studies
The LWVNE conducts studies to better understand issues. Studies are the first step in the process of the League taking a position on issues, providing guidance and education
The League is currently conducting two studies:
- Reimagining Public Safety (RPS)
- Money in Politics (MIP)
The studies welcome new members. To join, contact RPS Chair, Krystal Fox at krystal@lwvgo.org or MIP Chair, Madeline McCrae at murphi1216@hotmail.com.
