Together We Can
Protect and Defend Our Democracy Click HERE to donate At a time when most Americans think they do not have a meaningful voice in their democracy and are deluged with partisan news, when confidence in our institutions is at historic lows and cynicism at a record high, the work of the nonpartisan League of Women Voters of Santa Fe County is more important than ever. Santa Fe depends on the League to... * Conduct get-out-the-vote campaigns for all elections * Produce and distribute nonpartisan Voter Guides * Sponsor events to educate voters on critical local issues * Provide nonpartisan voter registration services, community-wide * Engage high school students in voting and civic involvement * Monitor local government at work and advocate for best practices * Represent Santa Fe's interests at the state and national level The LWVSFC is an all-volunteer, grassroots organization:
88% of our budget goes to pay for programs. Please consider making an end-of-the-year donation to ensure that we can continue these valuable services for another year. |

VOTER SERVICES - The LWVSFC believes we are all equal at the ballot box, but only if we vote. We engage thousands of Santa Fe County residents every year - ensuring that they are registered to vote, and that they have the information they need to participate in the local, state and national elections that determine our future.
ACTION & ADVOCACY - The LWVSFC follows local issues and monitors the workings of local government to identify opportunities to advocate for a course of action. The A&A Committee works to influence public policy through education and advocacy, based on positions the League has adopted after extensive study - and a consensus of our members. OUR POSITIONS - The LWVSFC advocates on the basis of positions that have been developed and adopted by the League of Women Voters of Santa Fe County; addressing local issues that affect City and County residents. We also advocate based on positions that have been adopted by the New Mexico State League (LWVNM), and the National League (LWVUS).
