Small groups of LWV members study and research an issue, then produce a Fact Sheet summarizing the information. This is done at the national, state, and local levels. All LWV members read the Fact Sheet and then come to a consensus about their position on the issue. After a Position has been adopted, Action and Advocacy begins.
