Did You Know…
In a MIT study of the November 2016 election, Kansas ranked 47th in Voter Registration and 48th in Voter Turnout! We’re going to change that!
Why Vote??? Citizenship in a democracy requires it. Historical sacrifices demand it. And if you think you have reasons NOT to vote, think about THIS…
People Powered Fair Maps Campaign
The People Powered Fair MapsTM Campaign is a national redistricting campaign of the League of Women Voters focused on creating fair political maps nationwide. The campaign includes actions in all 50 states + D.C. The work will look different in each state, but the campaign is comprised of five major focus areas:
-
Ballot Initiatives or Referendums
-
State Constitutional Options
-
State Legislative Fixes
-
Federal Legislative Fixes
-
Civic Engagement & Education
Each state will engage in at least one of the four focus areas through advocacy, education, organizing and mobilization, partnerships, litigation, and/or protection/defensive action.
EVERY Saturday at Ad Astra
We gather at 2:00 p.m. to write postcards to our representatives. In the last few months our state and national elected leaders have received hundreds of postcards from Salina area League members and other friends who have dropped by our table to write about their legislative concerns. The League provides the postcards, representative’s addresses and postage. All you have to do is add your voice! (Check our CALENDAR for possible cancellations around the holidays.)
Click here if you’d like to print your own postcards.
Can YOU Help?
The Salina League is always looking for members who can help. Could you sit at the postcard table on Saturdays sometimes? How about helping with a voter registration table this year? See more opportunities at “Meet the League”. If you are willing to give an hour, please Contact Us.
