The League of Women Voters
Established in 1920, following passage of the 19th amendment granting women the right to vote, the League is one of the nation's most respected grassroots organizations. Nationwide, members in about 800 local leagues and Washington, DC, Hong Kong, and the Virgin Islands, work to empower citizens to shape better communities by providing information, education, and advocacy.
The League is proud to be non-partisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at all levels of government. It has done this since its inception.
The League of Women Voters of Northern Valley is a member of the Bergen County, New Jersey, and National Leagues.
