The League of Women Voters of Portland is preparing for events in the fall of 2021. Meanwhile, we are moving to a new office space and looking for a new half-time staff person to help in our office.

This summer, we are also focused on advocating with our new positions on Police Accountability and City Government. We are also applying our long-time positions on transparency, equality of opportunity, air quality and voting rights to our work on issues before the Charter Review Commission, City Council and U.S. Congress.
