The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that promotes the informed and active participation of citizens in government through study and action. The League works with citizens through the American political process to bring about constructive change. We MONITOR government activities – including city councils, school boards, state legislatures and the U.S. We EDUCATE citizens abut their rights and responsibilities. We SPONSOR candidate forums and public issue forums. We STUDY issues in order to reach member consensus. And we TAKE ACTION by lobbying, testifying and educating legislators on issues we care about. As a nonpartisan body, the League takes action on ISSUES. We do not support or oppose candidates or parties. The League of Women Voters of Kentucky is fully committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our organization. These principles are central to the League’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities and policymakers to create a more perfect democracy. Pursuant to the goals of diversity, equity and inclusion, the LWVKY commits to recruit, mentor and retain members and leaders who represent a broad spectrum of people, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious belief, ability and being differently-abled, socioeconomic status, rural and urban locale, and political affiliation.
