Since its founding in 1920, the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts has been a respected and trusted voice for grassroots citizen participation in our democracy.
With 44 local Leagues throughout the state and over 3,000 members, LVWMA has been at the forefront of efforts to empower and educate Massachusetts voters and effect change on a wide range of issues, including election laws and campaign finance, natural resources and the environment, women’s health, children’s issues, state budget and finances, public education, and public safety.
For more than one hundred years, the League has led the way, working to ensure that all of us are actively engaged in making democracy work. We are women and men making a difference in the future of our communities, state, and country.
Massachusetts League activities are coordinated by two distinct but complementary organizations:
The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts (LWVMA), a nonpartisan political organization, empowers voters and strengthens democracy for all in Massachusetts.
In our mission statement, “nonpartisan political organization” means that LWVMA does not endorse a political party or candidate in elections, but it does advocate for issues that the organization has studied and taken a position on after consensus from our members.
Discrimination or harassment of any kind will not be accepted within the League, including but not limited to race, socio-economic status, age, ability status, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, or marital status. The League is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging for all people. The League is an organization that respects and values the richness of our community and our members. The collective sum of our individual differences and life experiences represents not only our culture, but our reputation and the organization’s mission/achievements as well.
