Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Policy

The League of Women Voters has embraced a new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy.
We know policy alone does not solve a problem.
The League is committed to living our values and prioritizing inclusion.

< DIVERSITY >

Refers to population groups that have been historically underserved in socially, politically, or economically powerful institutions and organizations.

< EQUITY >
Refers to systems, processes, and approaches based in fairness that ensure everyone is given equal opportunity and treated with dignity and respect. 

< INCLUSION >
Refers to the degree to which a diverse set of individuals are able to participate fully in collaboration, strategizing,  and decision making within an organization or group. 

Discrimination or harassment of any kind will not be accepted within the League, including but not limited to race, socio-economic status, age, ability status, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, gender identity, or marital status. The League is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging for all people. The League is an organization that respects and values the richness of our community and our members. The collective sum of our individual differences and life experiences represents not only our culture, but our reputation and the organization's mission and achievements as well.

Updated by the LWVUS Board 1/21/2024
