The League of Women Voters was founded in 1920 by participants in the suffragette movement who believed that victory in the voting rights battle was only a step toward a greater challenge. Said founder Carrie Chapman Catt: "Winning the vote is only an opening wedge -- learning to use it is a bigger task."

The League is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy. It is a unique activist network that derives its strength from the energy and commitment of more than a hundred thousand members and supporters organized in 1,250 local leagues nationwide.

The Alexandria League of Women Voters, founded in 1947, has some 200 members. Any citizen, 18 years of age or older, who lives in Alexandria may join. In addition, associate memberships are available for younger people and non-citizens.

Our focus on the issues and on encouraging true government of the people has earned the League of Women Voters its reputation as one of America's most respected political institutions. In an era of proliferating and powerful special interests, the League's advocacy of the public interest is increasingly recognized as an essential voice of democracy.

The Alexandria League of Women Voters is active from September through May of each year. We invite you to read through these pages to learn more about what we do and what we stand for. And, if your goals match our goals, we invite you to join us in achieving them.
