HomeAdvocacy Overview

Advocacy

The League of Women Voters of Williamsburg Areas is nonpartisan. We do not support or oppose candidates or political parties.

Policy advocacy is conducted by the League of Women Voters of Virginia (LWV-VA) and the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS).

Members get involved in reviewing and studying issues that the State or national League may end up forming a position on.

Note: Our local League does not adopt separate positions.

Issue Groups

Members join LWV of Virginia statewide issue groups to study public policy topics. The groups usually meet monthly on ZOOM. Current issues include affordable housing, behavioral health and criminal justice, environmental issues, reproductive health, and more. Read More.

WLRT's

During the Virginia General Assembly session (January-February-March), the League of Women Voters of Virginia provides a nonpartisan forum open to the public each Wednesday morning to discuss and share information on issues and legislation.

The League invites Legislators to discuss bills they are sponsoring and answer questions. Leaders of nonprofit groups share their priority issues. League lobbyists and Issue Group Leaders give updates on our priority issues. Read More.
