Making Democracy Work : Empowering Voters, Defending Democracy

The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. By providing non-partisan observations and reporting of the voting process in addition to meetings of election commissions, the League promotes public confidence in the integrity of elections and supports procedures that increase transparency in government.

    EdTrust Tennessee hosts "Every Student Matters, Every Vote Counts Webinar"

    Tennessee’s elected officials – from the governor to the legislature to school boards – make decisions every day that shape what happens in classrooms, from funding formulas to curriculum standards to voucher expansion.

    Join EdTrust-Tennessee as we unpack the primary election results and look ahead to what’s at stake for students in November’s general election. Together, we’ll break down the key offices and education issues at stake and how each connects to real policies that affect students and families every day.

    Whether you’re new to education advocacy or have been doing this work for years, we invite you to join us to gain a clear picture of what’s coming and learn about concrete ways to plug in to make your voice heard as Election Day approaches.

    Register here.
