Membership in the LWV Evanston

When you join the League of Women Voters of Evanston, you automatically become a member of the League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of Illinois. This gives you access to issue and advocacy information, publications and websites at all levels of League. You will receive the quarterly National Voter from LWVUS, the quarterly Illinois Voter from LWVIL, and the monthly Intercom from LWVE.

We welcome your membership and invite you to participate in LWVE activities that fit your interests and your schedule. As a new or renewing member, your membership is vitally important to support the League's worthwhile programs and its effective and visible presence at all levels of government.

To learn more about why membership in the League is so important, take a moment to read notes from our League archives. This message rings as clear as it did in 1925 as it does today….and today we also encourage the strong participation of men and women.

Every woman in Evanston should be a member of this organization of education. It is the only national non-partisan organization existing solely for the political education of women.

This organization does not duplicate the work of other organizations – it works all the year around before elections to secure information for women voters; between elections to secure wise legislation and sound public administration. It gives the woman, who is new in the community, an opportunity to join with other women in the work that interests her without waiting years for admission and the payment of large dues.

It develops the intelligence of the individual voter through discussions and unbiased and non-partisan information on parties, candidates, and measures. It provides a meeting ground for women of all parties where they may exchange ideas and work together for the things in which they have a common interest.

It also urges women to enroll in the political parties and to work through them to improve the machinery of government.

These things are for the best interest of our town, state and country and the information should be sought by the women of Evanston when it is so easily obtained.

The League of Women Voters of Evanston is a nonpartisan organization that promotes political responsibility through informed and active participation of the citizens in government. The League works to influence public policy through citizen education and advocacy.
