In addition to our core work on voting and elections, the League of Women Voters advocates for issues that its membership chooses. In order to advocate for an issue, the League must have a position that has been adopted at the state or federal level or studied and come to consensus on as a local League.  

This year, LWV-Wilmette will focus on five issues in addition to voting rights. These are:

1. Community Engagement and Education
2. Good Governance
3. Affordable Housing
4. Environment
5. Gun Violence Prevention

In addition, the LWV-Wilmette supports work on reforming the electoral college, advocating for an accurate Census 2020 and Fairmaps/Redistricting and promoting the ERA amendment.
