League of Women Voters Napa County
What We Do:
We make democracy work by providing voter and election education, and advocating for important community issues, often in partnership with coalitions or other nonprofits. During election years, we hold nonpartisan, bilingual candidate forums and pro/con programs on ballot propositions. We work with volunteers who register and educate voters, including high school/college students and seniors.
We advocate for governmental change on issues where the California or other US Leagues have developed policies through study and consensus. Current local League priorities include climate change, affordable housing and homelessness, and criminal justice. We have hosted/co-hosted programs on immigration, single-payer healthcare, watershed health, the electoral college, and women’s equality. We were involved with the 2020 census count and will be offering educational opportunities to learn about the importance of redistricting. We’ve developed online learning materials on voting and elections, made available to all high school students. There are many volunteer opportunities to help with voter service activities during election cycles
Other Ways to Help:
- Help with high school and college preregistration/registration campaigns
- Help at registration and voter education tables for seniors, at community events, and at League programs and forums
- Translate materials into Spanish and Tagalog and act as translators at tables and events
- Co-host and attend forums and programs
- Help build coalitions and work together on solving community issues
- Support the Napa, Bay Area, California, and national leagues, by joining our local LWVNC
