The League of Women Voters was founded in 1920 by leaders of the women’s suffrage movement, created to help 20 million newly enfranchised women step into their role as voters. More than a century later, the League continues that legacy as a trusted, nonpartisan organization dedicated to strengthening American democracy.
For over 100 years, the League has championed election protection, democratic reforms, and equal access to the ballot. Our work remains rooted in empowering voters, expanding civic participation, and ensuring that every eligible voter can cast a ballot that is free, fair, and counted.
The League of Women Voters of Miami‑Dade, founded in 1985, carries this mission forward locally. For more than four decades, our chapter has supported the residents of Miami‑Dade through nonpartisan voter education, community forums, advocacy for transparent and accessible elections, and partnerships that strengthen civic engagement across the county.
As we move through this mid‑year election cycle, our work is especially vital. Voters rely on clear, accessible, nonpartisan information to navigate evolving election rules, understand what’s on the ballot, and make informed decisions. LWVMD’s programs help ensure that every resident has the tools needed to participate confidently and securely.
We are fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice. Our organization welcomes all people, and we uphold a clear standard: there shall be no barriers to full participation based on gender, ethnicity, race, or any characteristic that reflects the diversity of our community.
