  • Fair Districts PA Program

    THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF PA (LWVPA) IS DEDICATED TO ENSURING THAT ALL PENNSYLVANIANS HAVE THE INFORMATION AND TOOLS NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE EFFECTIVELY IN LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND TO ADVOCATE FOR POSITIVE STATEWIDE AND LOCAL POLICY.LWVPA HAS A LONG HISTORY OF A TRUSTED VOICE IN PENNSYLVANIA ON THE NEED FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT, ETHICS, AND ELECTION MODERNIZATION REFORMS. WE NEVER SUPPORT OR OPPOSE SPECIFIC CANDIDATES OR PARTIES. THIS ALLOWS US TO BE NON-PARTISAN IN ALL OUR WORK.LWVPA IS ENGAGED IN ADVOCACY WITH THE PUBLIC, POLICYMAKERS AND THE MEDIA ABOUT THE NEED FOR ELECTION REFORM AND TRANSPARENCY, VOTER ENGAGEMENT AND VOTER REPRESENTATION. IN ADDITION, LWVPA, IN COORDINATION WITH OUR LOCAL LEAGUES, MOBILIZES GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY EFFORTS INCLUDING PUBLISHING ARTICLES AND HOLDING COMMUNITY FORUMS. SPECIFICALLY, WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON: EDUCATION POLICY AND FUNDING ISSUES, REDISTRICTING REFORM, CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, ELECTION REFORM, THE FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES AND POLICIES. THROUGH THE FAIR DISTRICTS PA PROGRAM , LWVPA HAS ADVOCATED FOR CHANGES IN THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS FOR LEGISLATIVE AND CONGRESSIONAL PROCESS BY CREATING A STATEWIDE CITIZEN GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION THAT HAS DRAFTED AND ADVOCATED FOR LEGISLATION TO ESTABLISHING A CITIZEN REDISTRICTING COMMISSION.
