1 DATES & DATA LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS WINNETKA-NORTHFIELD-KENILWORTH Website: JANUARY/FEBRUARY/MARCH 2016 Presidents Letter The Year of the Voter The primary League of Women Voters function is to serve and inform the Voter. This is a year to do that on many levels! Our Voters Service Committee is already hard at work and all of us will need to help and support them. First, our tradition of holding a Candidates Forum is planned. The Committee has invited the 6 Candidates for Village Trustee in Winnetka to express their views and ideas for the Village in an open forum for all our citizens to consider. Voter Registration Dates are set. As a reminder, the League is always non-partisan and does not support candidates. However, members are free to do what they wish, in their own names (the exceptions are the President and the Voters Service Chair). We are looking forward to a busy year, with activities at the Library and other organizations in our Villages. See you there!

7 New Analysis Shows Irresponsible State Budgeting Harming Women Women gathered at The Center of Hope in Rockford to unveil a new analysis from the Responsible Budget Coalition that shows the failure of state policymakers to choose revenue is having a disproportionate impact on women. This is due to the fact that women make far less than men for the very same work and caregiving responsibilities are far more likely to fall on their shoulders. Vision 20/20 Education is an investment in our children s future, our state s future, and our nation s future. In November 2012, the Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA) initiated a vision ing process in partnership with the Illinois Principals Association (IPA), the Illinois Association of School Business Officials (IASBO), the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB), the Superintendents Commission for the Study of Demographics and Diversity (SCSDD), and the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools (IARSS) to unite the education community and to develop a longrange blueprint for improving public education in Illinois. Suffragist Memorial The League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) has agreed to become a partner with the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association (TPSMA) in creating a memorial that celebrates the fight for women s suffrage and its relevance today. This decision is particularly timely in light of the upcoming 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment in League of Women Voters of Illinois For more information about the following articles go to 10 Ways the League of Women Voters Has Helped Improve Our Country By: Renee Davidson 02/04/2015 This year, the League of Women Voters celebrates its 95th anniversary. Founded by suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt on February 14, 1920 just six months prior to passage of the 19th Amendment the League was charged with finish[ing] the fight to ensure that every eligible voter has free and fair access to the polls. Ever since, the League has been at the forefront of efforts to empower citizens to play an active role in our democracy. In honor of 95 years of Making Democracy Work, here are 10 ways the League has helped strengthen our democracy and ensure equality throughout the past century. 1. The Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921, a groundbreaking law providing federal funding for maternity and child care, was the League s first major success. 2, Following World War II, the League helped lead the effort to establish the United Nations. 3. In 1952, the League joined NBC and Life magazine in sponsoring the first-ever televised U.S. presidential debate. We served as the official presidential debate sponsor from Today, Leagues across the country continue to sponsor candidate debates at the state and local levels. 4. McCarthyism and the witch hunt period of the 1950s inspired the League to help educate Americans on their individual rights and liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution. This work culminated when LWVUS President Percy Maxim Lee testified before Congress against Senator Joseph McCarthy s abuse of congressional investigative powers in Between 1950 and 1970, the League increased its effectiveness in regard to both public education and advocacy, prompting Senator George Aiken to remark, Only 135,000 of them? I thought there were millions. 6. Throughout the 70s and 80s, passing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a top League priority at the national and state levels. The League organized the National Business Council (NBC) for ERA, the first formal structure to bring major business leaders into the fight for ratification. 7. In 1990s, the League was at the forefront of the fight to pass the National Voter Registration Act, better known as Motor Voter. We even have President Clinton s pen from the signing! 8. Following five years of campaigning, the League helped pass the McCain-Feingold bill, better known as the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA), in The legislation closed the most significant loopholes in campaign finance regulation at the time, making historic strides in helping protect our nation s elections from secret money. 9. In 2006, the League launched VOTE411.org, the go-to online resource for voter registration and elections-related information. In 2014, over 1.5 million people used VOTE411.org to find the election information they needed to vote. 10. In 2014, the League and our partners helped collect 8 million public comments encouraging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to cut carbon pollution and fight climate change. We re still pushing ahead in The League is one of our country s oldest and strongest nonpartisan civic organizations. Ninety-five years after the League was founded, we continue to hold fast to the belief that our nation is at its strongest when citizens are engaged with our democracy, from voting rights and voter education to campaign finance reform and environmental defense. There will never be a true democracy, said Chapman Catt, until every responsible...adult in it, without regard to race, sex, color or creed has his or her own...voice in government.
8 From LWV President Elisabeth MacNamara The League Update January 7, 2016 Happy New Year! Well, 2015 is finally behind us. It was a year of great turmoil in our nation and in the world. It was a year in which, once again, we saw new voices emerging discussing new approaches to combatting age-old themes of justice and inequality. Looking forward, 2016 is a critical election year in which I hope Leagues everywhere are thinking about ways to work with these powerful new voices in your communities to connect these themes to the critical act of voting. The League of Women Voters is the only living legacy of the movement that got women in this country the right to vote. We are that legacy because our founders understood that in order to succeed in the long run, the energy of a movement must be translated into sustained civic engagement by those involved in the movement. Nearly one hundred years ago, the strategies and tactics that the National American Woman s Suffrage Association employed to achieve the vote were well adapted to the political process. Today, that political process remains largely unchanged while the ability of activists to organize across distance and time has evolved to be unrecognizable even to those of us who have lived through the change. That is the challenge facing the League and every other traditional political organization in this election. To effect real change through the political process every voice must be heard, not just through new media, but at the ballot box. Working together, we can and must meet this challenge. Together, we will register hundreds of thousands of new voters, starting with this spring s Youth Voter Registration Project, provide millions with nonpartisan information on candidates on VOTE411.org and through millions of printed and online voters guides, and host more debates and forums, as well as serve as poll workers, poll monitors and, in some cases, drivers helping voters get to the polls. For this election to be about real change, it must first be about traditional voter engagement and empowerment. Joining hands with our many partners, we will make a difference this year.
