California State Capitol Building

Key Issues

Our Key Issues are selected by members of the League of Women Voters of California every two years. Through a collaborative, grassroots driven input process, members across the state come to consensus on which issue areas will be our main focus in the next two years. These are our current Key Issues.

VOTING IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT

Making Democracy Work

We must ensure a free, fair, and accessible electoral system for all Californians.

A CLIMATE HEALTH EMERGENCY

Climate Change & Sustainability

We must act now to stop catastrophic consequences. The most powerful action is our knowledgeable vote.

A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE FOR ALL

Housing & Homelessness

Everyone deserves a safe place to live. The LWVC supports legislative efforts aimed at California’s housing crisis.

PREVENT CRIME, PROMOTE SAFETY

Criminal Justice Reform

The criminal justice system needs reform, and community participation is essential.
