We also have stands on national issues , including International Relations . We partner with other organizations on issues important to us . How we develop our stands on issues The League of Women Voters takes action on an issue or advocates for a cause when we have a position that supports the issue or speaks to the cause.
Positions result from a process of thorough study.
Any given study, whether it be National, State, or Local, is thorough in its pursuit of facts and details, both positive and negative. As the study progresses, a continuing discussion of pros and cons of each situation occurs. Study committee members fashion consensus questions that are then addressed by the membership. After the members reach consensus, the board forms positions based on that consensus. Firm action or advocacy can then be taken on the particular issue addressed by the position.
