In keeping with the League of Women Voters’s long history of level-headed, nonpartisan information, their new presentation outlines the unique challenges currently facing our democracy.

“During this non-election year, we believe that this is an important moment in the history of our country for people to understand

  • how democracy and the balance of power work,
  • how fundamental rights are impacted by executive orders and actions,
  • how current litigation is an important arena for resolving disagreement, and
  • what advocacy can and should be done by citizens and voters.”

The Public Policy committee is chaired by Gerri Morrison and Vicki Reed. Additionally, our own Anita Reith will share information about Proposition 50.
