Making Democracy Work

Making Democracy Work

The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
In the week before the SC General Assembly comes back into session, we'll be discussing one piece of legislation that is fundamental to all of the work the legislators will take on in the future. Due to legislative delay and maneuvering, ethics reform didn't pass in 2013, but we hope 2014 will be the year for it. We need to know that our public officials are working for us, for the betterment of our state, not for their personal gain and political protection. Join us on January 12th as we watch the award-winning documentary Pricele$$ and discuss how achieving ethics reform is a necessary step towards achieving our goals in other areas - education, healthcare, environmental protection, women's issues, and more.
Join us February 23rd for our annual gala fundraiser Taste of Success Wine Tasting
. We are working hard to keep South Carolina beautiful by pushing to keep large trash companies from using SC as the nation's dumping ground. Learn more at Don't Dump on SC and also on this easy-to-read (and share!!) flyer.
