League of Women Voters is 105!

 

You can celebrate with your donation to League of Women Voters of Seattle King County (LWVSKC) knowing that you make a difference locally, where you live, for yourself and your community. 

And yes, even in this turbulent time, we can celebrate!  League of Women Voters is 105 this month - and we are here for you and King County resolute in our mission.  At nearly 500 members strong, LWVSKC continues to work to empower voters, especially our young adults and those in underserved communities, and to work to strengthen our democracy. 

Won’t you celebrate with us by making your birthday gift to LWVSKC? 

Your gift can help grow civic-mindedness and involvement in the community by supporting our youth civics program.  This three-part program includes free online teaching resources on voting and leadership, supports student-led candidate and issues forums, and provides the opportunity for practice voting. This youth engagement leads to higher voting turnout and new lifelong voters as voting is habit forming. Your support today will strengthen and grow this program. 

Founded by the activists who secured voting rights for women, the League of Women Voters has always worked to promote the values and processes of representative government and envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate. And the League has stood for the political rights and representation of women for over a century. In that time political support and public opinion around issues like suffrage, abortion, workplace discrimination, maternal rights, and more have evolved and shifted. Yet, we have always stood firm in our values — and we know you stand with us. Together we can continue this work.

Your gift will make a difference in these unsteady times. And, you can make a more lasting impact with an online recurring donation or make a one-time gift. Or you can mail your check to: LWVSKC, 1511 Third Avenue, Suite 801, Seattle, WA, 98101. 

What a great gift you can give to your community by celebrating LWVSKC’s birthday with your financial support. 

Thank you for standing with LWVSKC to empower voters so that every voice is heard.
 
All the best,

P.S. Please make your gift now and your community will be strengthened! 

Senate Bill 5400 is a Commonsense Solution to Promote Democracy

By LWVWA President Mary Coltrane and LWVWA Local News and Democracy Chair Dee Anne Finken

The League of Women Voters of Washington strongly endorses Senate Bill 5400 in support of local journalism.

This measure seeks to defend democracy in communities that have been hard hit by a changing news landscape. There is amazing access to information in our times; however, this information does not necessarily include what is going on in local communities. This puts democracy at risk.

SB 5400 requires major technology companies to pay slightly more to the state Workforce Education Investment Account. These new dollars are an investment in the future and will not detract from existing uses.
