CAN YOU IMAGINE what life would be like if it weren’t for the women who over a 70- year period fought for the right of women to vote? You take women’s rights for granted nowadays, don’t you? It wasn’t always so. It happened because some spent their time and some provided money to support the work.

Today, while women do vote, certain entities are making voting difficult for some groups of Americans.  In other words, voting rights are still being fought for. That group of women who fought the original fight are still around in spirit and in the work of The League of Women Voters.

Founded in 1920 on the passing of the 19^th amendment, the League of Women Voters (LWV) continues to work for voting rights, for fair elections and promotes unbiased information on issues on the ballot so that voters can make informed choices on items on their ballots.

Would you please help to support the work of the LWV? Among the 700-plus chapters of the LWV, individuals in the Virgin Islands chapter (LWV VI) continue the work of the original women.  Specifically, LWV VI:

assists the local Elections System in registering new voters,

conducts public forums on matters of importance to voters,

testifies on issues of significance at legislative hearings,

publishes relevant opinions in local print and digital media, 

presents televised interviews with candidates for public office,

visits high school classes to encourage 18 year-olds to register to vote,

and more!

Your contribution helps to support the work of the LWV VI.  For example, supporters contributed to help us publish flyers distributed to students on how to register to voter; produce public forums on topics of public interest, purchase space in local media to publish points of information to voters, among many other similar activities.

Please consider supporting the work of the LWV VI.  Your contribution helps us make a difference in our community. You make a difference in supporting our community when you contribute to LWV VI! Use our PayPal link below or mail a check and indicate it as a contribution.
