League of Women Voters

This organization is a non-profit organization that has fought since the 1920's to improve the system of government and impact policies through citizen education and advocacy. There all leagues in all 50 states. A cool thing about this non-profit organization is that it is very much nonpartisan; it neither supports either candidate for any person that is going into office. But this organization is strictly works to enforce public policy through advocacy.

This organization makes a different in a lot of lives of many different citizens because they provide energy and passions to thousands who are committed to change the way women vote.Another reason I like this organization is because not only do they want to change the way women vote they focus on a lot of other issues. The issues they address consist of Tax Policy, Campaign Finance Reform, Civil Liberties, DC Voting Rights, Election Administration, Ethics and Lobbying Reform, Global Climate Change, Health Care Reform. I couldn't believe all the issues they address and I really like out they want to change how our world votes. I believe that all women should contribute to this non-profit organization because it a positive way and only way to help boost women and the way they vote. I even believe men should contribute as well because they don't just focus on women and their votes, they address many different topics they help out society in general.Our readings this week are about Feminist and the work they are doing all over especially in many different countries.

The readings state that in most countries women's movements are different in many different ways. The main thing that is different in most other countries is their financial situations. They don't have as much as support as the Americans do, that is the one thing that separates other countries from the U.S is money. A lot can be learned in other countries because the organizations are growing and they are learning every single day.
