League of Women Voters of Winchester
About
The League of Women Voters of Winchester is a nonpartisan, grassroots group that encourages residents to take an informed and active role in government. Open to both men and women, it runs programs that raise awareness of local, state and national issues and works with the state and national Leagues to develop policy positions. Its goals are to increase understanding of public policy and to influence it through education and advocacy.
Recent work includes voter registration at Winchester and Medford high schools, candidate forums for contested local and legislative races, and voter guides for Winchester elections. Public programs have covered topics such as money in politics and alternatives to incarceration, and the steering committee holds open meetings to review statewide ballot questions. The League also promotes student civic learning and presents a Civic Leadership Award to honor community members.
