News & Updates from LWVDC

Catch up with our annual report, LWVDC Year in Review, 2024-2025: Making Democracy Work in the District of Columbia.

At the May 17, 2025, annual meeting we celebrated the League of Women Voters of DC’s 105th year. We proudly honor our past as we grow the League’s future in the District of Columbia. The DC League was constructed on a foundation of hope by some of our nation’s foremost suffragist leaders—and a belief that engagement in our democracy should be expanded to include all who are blessed to make DC home. The League year just ending has been busy and eventful. So much has been done to make our League stronger. A more dedicated and talented group of leaders and members could not be found at any time or place in the League—or in any other civic organization, for that matter. We thank you for your continued passion, service and support. You are the true torch-bearers of our League’s mission and vision.

Our accomplishments have been stunning in areas like educating and engaging voters, particularly from marginalized groups, fighting for full rights and statehood for DC, battling attacks on our limited home rule, reforming election systems to increase access to democracy, ensuring government integrity and transparency, growing our membership and leadership, protecting our environment from climate change, collaborating with other allied organizations. And all of this is on top of a major historic transformation in the League’s member management system that is still going on.

All of these activities are carried out by volunteers who share a passion for making democracy—and the League of Women Voters--work in the District of Columbia. We deeply appreciate the hard work and commitment of members of the LWVDC leadership team—both board and off-board—this past year. Our League’s talent pool is as strong and deep as the great rivers that run through our beloved District.
