On January 21, 2017 millions of women and men around the world, including close to 100,000 in Minnesota, joined together to make their voices heard.  Many now are asking “What’s Next?  What can we do so we don’t lose our momentum?”

Here are some suggestions from the League of Women Voters U.S.

• Join the League of Women Voters.  League is a group of engaged and caring individuals trying to make a difference in their communities.
• Register to vote, and encourage your friends to do so
• Make a donation to League
• Call/write your congressional and legislative representatives to make them aware of your views.

To sign up to receive updates on State legislation, you can electronically subscribe to the one of a number of publications distributed by the House and Senate.  To access the Legislature’s website where you can do so, click here.. 

From the workplace to the home to the health care system to the judicial realm, the struggle for women's equality continues. Please join us as we partner with the Roseville Library and the group Do Good Roseville for a viewing and discussion of the film "Equal Means Equal."  Thursday, March 9, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.at the Roseville Library Community Room.  

The League is proud to partner with the Women's March on Washington - Saturday January 21. As women and defenders of our democracy, there is more that unites us than divides us. We march for voting rights. We march to reform money in politics. We march for health care. We march for the environment.  Here is a link to the Women's March on Washington.

If you are unable to march in Washington, D.C., you can participate in the Women's March Minnesota, which culminates with a rally at noon at the State Capitol.
