Involved with Policy and Social Change
The League of Women Voters is the most trusted not for profit organization in the United States. As such, League chapters like LWV of Miami-Dade County, are often called upon to convene community issue forums as well as host candidate debates.
The League is firmly nonpartisan and neither supports nor opposes candidates for office. At the same time, it is a political organization and advocates on select policy issues after careful consideration by its members. The League does not endorse candidates or political parties.
