We are launching STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY, a Civics Learning Tool for all.

Empowering Voters and defending democracy is a key part of the League of Women Voter’s mission.  Today the very foundation of our country — our democracy — is being threatened. 

The League of Women Voters Marin County’s STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY program offers Marin County residents a non-partisan way to better understand how our government was intended to work.  A better understanding inspires action - specifically TO VOTE!!
