At the League of Women Voters of Nashville, we take a thoughtful and democratic approach to advocacy. Our members research issues thoroughly, engage in open and informed discussions, and vote as an organization to determine our official positions. We focus our efforts on areas that impact our community including education, the environment, Metro Government, public health, and voter services.
Areas of Focus
Education
The League believes that every child has a right to a public education that adequately addresses the needs of all learners. We rank in the bottom in the nation for education funding and must improve.
Resources
Environment
LWVN believes we must protect our planet from the physical and public health effects of climate change. The federal government has a major role in protecting our environment and controlling pollution.
Resources
Metro Government
Many issues are discussed at Metro Council meetings. Most are not reported by the media. The Metro Government committee follows the Nashville Metro Council Meetings and reports to the LWVN Board on legislation, bills, discussions, controversies, resolutions, and policies related to areas of concern to the League of Women Voters.
Resources
Public Health
Since 1993, the LWV has been committed to promoting “a health care system for the United States that provides access to a basic level of quality care for all U.S. residents and controls health care costs.”
