We have named our NextGen civic engagement program, in which youth leaders conduct community outreach and observe local political events that they document in articles, after longtime League member Helene Lecar.

Join us in supporting the Helene Lear Civic Engagement Program that empowers the next generation of change makers. Your generous gift makes a world of difference, as we seek to nurture the voices, visions, and talents of young people who are our future community leaders! Join the effort here!

Attend the Annual Meeting on June 8th at 6:30 PM, which will begin with an expert panel who will lead the conversation: Preparing Now for the 2024 General Election.

The League of Women Voters, and other civil rights and civic organizations, have been advocating for Alameda County officials to ramp up voter engagement, educational efforts and independent oversight of our local elections. Greater transparency, robust partnerships, and accountability are needed to ensure best practices are fully implemented in our county. Register!

In comparison, men use six products a day, exposing them to 85 chemical ingredients. Although most of these chemicals are not toxic, some of them have been associated with health issues and environmental degradation. This potentially makes women more susceptible to health issues because they are exposed to more chemicals. Learn more!
