The LWV has two facets. One encourages people to vote and become educated on issues. The other facet takes positions on issues.
Nonpartisanship is the most important principle in both facets.
Nonpartisanship means we support issues, not people or parties. We are known for our balanced approach and study of issues because of our nonpartisan principle. For each level of government, there is a level of League with positions. At the Minneapolis League, we have been working since 1919 developing our positions at the city level. The mission of the League is to encourage the informed and active participation of citizens in community and government and to influence public policy through education and advocacy.
