  • The League is nonpartisan; we do not support or oppose candidates.

  • The LWVO is committed to diversity and inclusion. There are no barriers to participation in any activity of the LWVO on the basis of gender, gender expression, gender identity, race, ethnicity, political or religious beliefs, age, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or socio-economic status.
