While Marylanders stay physically distant to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the critical work and internal operations of the League of Women Voters of Maryland continue unabated.  At a time of unprecedented challenges, the state League is eager to engage members in virtual collaboration and learning as we prepare for the year ahead.

LWVMD Virtual State Council 2020

A century ago, our foremothers won the right to vote. The League of Women Voters was founded to engage women in government, as voters, educators and advocates.  One hundred years later, we are united in our mission to empower voters and defend democracy, yet many obstacles remain.  As we begin the League's second centennial, our success will depend on understanding our changing world, facing our mistakes and working together to create a more perfect democracy.
