The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

LWV is an organization fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, gender identity, ethnicity, race, native or indigenous origin, age, generation, sexual orientation, culture, religion, belief system, marital status, parental status, socioeconomic status, language, accent, ability status, mental health, educational level or background, geography, nationality, work style, work experience, job role function, thinking style, personality type, physical appearance, political perspective or affiliation and/or any other characteristic that can be identified as recognizing or illustrating diversity.

The League of Women Voters works on issues vital to public policy and, as an advocacy organization, takes positions on those issues.  Energizing Young Voters, in contrast, maintains a policy of issue-agnosticism.

Energizing Young Voters believes it is essential to remain issue-agnostic in order to help young people identify issues they personally care about and bring about changes they want to see related to those issues. Our goal is not to tell them what those issues should be or what to try to change.  

 Our goals are to help young people know how to:

• Make considered choices about issues important to them

• Participate in our democratic government at every level

• Bring about changes they personally believe are important to the future of our nation.

• Use skills that help them listen and talk across the political divide with civility.

Our materials will be reviewed regularly for bias.  Reviewers will be people with varying political points of view with at least one person identifying as leaning left and one identifying as leaning right.  Any bias pointed out will be re-examined and any necessary alterations made.
