Supporting women-owned, minority-owned, and small businesses strengthens local economies and helps resources stay within the community. This national moment is a reminder that democracy thrives when every community can thrive. Make your voice heard!

Stuck on what to gift the person who truly has it all? 🎁

Instead of another fancy gadget, why not give the gift of voter education?

A donation to LWVLMPA can make a real difference in our community! Let’s turn their 'nothing' into something meaningful.

Voting is a fundamental principle, and all Americans deserve the equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy. Last week — with voting rights under attack — voters in Maine showed up BIG to defend that right in their state and protect democracy.

Women have worn the uniform since the Revolutionary War, yet the fight for equal treatment within the military has been slow and hard-won.

That statement is demonstrably false. When government officials deny documented reality, they erode public trust and undermine accountability. LWV believes in transparency, facts, and the constitutional rights of ALL Americans.

US citizens deserve the truth — and they deserve better.
Kristi Noem: “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting.”

Did you know? Women gained the right to vote in 1920. On the 105th anniversary of its founding, the League called on Congress to protect the rule of law & defend the Constitution. The letter was signed by the leadership of every state League. Read it: my.lwv.org/sites/defaul... @lwvus.bsky.social

Our military service members are not getting paid.

Unlike during previous government shutdowns, Congress did not put forth a bill to ensure that the men and women who are serving around the world during this shutdown will be able to also take care of their families who are waiting at home.
