Start your day with a cup of delicious Colectivo coffee or cocoa from the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County. You can even enjoy your beverage from an LWV mug featuring Lady Liberty! 

Your purchase of LWVMC's custom-labeled coffee and cocoa supports its work and mission to empower voters and defend democracy. Buy now for yourself and for holiday gifts for friends and family. 

School is starting and so is an incredibly rewarding activity in the LWVMC - Voter Registration for High School Students.  It is great to witness the students’ excitement when they realize they are registered and ready to vote and know how to do it.

We are in need of Outreach Coordinators for the High School Voter Registration Project. Coordinators facilitate registration events - linking with a staff member, training and supporting students, and coordinating the League volunteers.

Sound daunting?  Most of us felt that way when we started, but we soon began signing up for more schools. We have all of the training and registration materials, as well as step-by-step directions for coordinators.  

Please consider volunteering to be a coordinator. You can start with just one school and add others as you wish. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Judy Winn: jwinn@lwvmilwaukee.org.

The League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County and the Whitefish Bay Public Library will co-host a Community Conversation on

 Freedom to Read: How Librarians Fight Back Against Book Challenges and How the Law Protects Them.

If you didn’t take our quick survey last week, please do so now.  This is the last time we will offer the survey.

Take Action in Honor of Women’s Equality Day

The LWVUS reminds members to contact their elected officials to urge them to act on key issues to support equity for women. The “equality wish list” for Congress includes:

1. Protecting women's right to vote through federal legislation;

2. Adding the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution; and 

3. Restoring reproductive freedom for all.
