Our Mission and Roles

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or candidate.

The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.

-Voters Service/Citizen Education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

-Action/Advocacy: we are also nonpartisan, but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from the League of Women Voters of Texas Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation.

We believe in:

-respect for individuals
-the value of diversity
-the empowerment of the grassroots, both within the League and in communities

We will:

-act with trust, integrity and professionalism
-operate in an open and effective manner to meet the needs of those we serve, both members and the public
-take the initiative in seeking diversity in membership
-acknowledge our heritage as we seek our path to the future.
