99 Years and Counting!

Here’s an article with some history of the League of Women Voters, which will be 99 years old on February 14, 2019. The article also looks to our future as a nonpartisan organization that fosters civic engagement and stands for effective efficient government and equal rights for all. It was published on the “Who.What.Why Blog.” https://whowhatwhy.org/2019/01/07/league-of-women-voters-gets-trump-bump/ Below are some photos and a quote from the article.
