The League of Women Voters is a national organization founded in 1920 six months before the 19th amendment allowing women who were citizens to vote. Founders wanted to inform women of issues they could vote on. Its mission is empowering voters and defending democracy. In 1971, membership opened to anyone over the age of 16. There are state and local leagues that are affiliated with the national one, and ours is the League of Women Voters of Thurston County. We are all volunteers, but also advocates for issues that we study, and for our state-wide Be a Voter campaign. lwvthurston.org
