The League takes action on national, state and local issues at the national, state and local government levels based on League positions after a thorough study, discussion and consensus process in which all members may participate.
LWVUS volunteers visit the United States Senatorial and Congressional offices at various times during the year to explain League positions on specific issues to their Senators and Congressional Representatives.
The League of Women Voters of Maryland plays a similar role at the State level testifying before the Maryland General Assembly, advocating our League positions.
Local Leagues monitor local government hearings and legislative sessions as well, testifying when an issue on which the League has taken a position is headed for action by government bodies (see below).
