LWVUS National Convention: June 16-19, 2016

Convention 2016, June 16-19 in Washington, DC:  Making Democracy Work for All:  Experience the collective power of our mission, messages, and actions to build a more perfect democracy.

  • Lobby Day. Be a part of advancing the League’s legislative priorities when you go to Capitol Hill for meetings with your elected representatives in the U.S. Congress.
  • Pre-Convention Welcome Activities. Attend Key Structures of Democracy sessions – on money in politics, redistricting, constitutional amendment safeguards – to learn the powerful ways you can bring these issues home for action. A first-time convention-goers event and Convention orientations will connect “newbies” and veterans in learning how to make the most of Convention.
  • Daily caucuses and workshops. Participate in a range of League issues and skills building gatherings – in election services, voter protection, advocacy, civic engagement, social media, fundraising and more.
  • Plenary sessions. Learn from experts in politics and communications about where the League can focus its impact in the coming biennium, engage in proceedings around League positions, and look ahead to strategies for success as our centennial year approaches.
  • Connect through engagement. Take part in the Engagement Zone, Wares Market, Banquet and Discussion Roundtables. Attend the renowned Capitol Steps comedy performance and enjoy their hilarious take on national politics.
