Make Your Voice Heard


Each day, Congress faces historic legislation that threatens our Democracy.

 

Contact your elected officials to support legislation that stands up for the Constitution and the will of the American people. 


Take action on legislation that would ensure the freedom to vote; make elections more free, fair, and equitable; reduce money's political influence, and oppose partisan and racial gerrymandering.


Find and Contact Your Congressional Representatives




Keep Up with the League

Join LWV of Appleton-Fox Cities and stay informed.

LWV Demands Congress Restore Order of Law

The Leagues from Appleton-Fox Cities and Winnebago County came together at a news conference March 25 at the Menasha Library to send a letter calling on the Fox Valley's Congressional delegates to exercise their authority and duty to  uphold the rule of law, defend the constitution, and protect their constituents. 
 
The Leagues called out congressional inaction to protect the nation's system of checks and balances and our democracy, asking them to restore stability to our nation. 
 
Postcards stating the US League's "Oath to Democracy" were provided to send personal messages to elected representatives. 
 
READ the letter to Congress.
The event news release can be read HERE.

Monthly Program Review


The Time Is Now: Funding Public Education in the Fox Cities
Monday, April 14, 2025
This informative program developed by the Fox Cities Advocates for Education and presented by James Bowman and Patti Clark Stojke  described the educational opportunities available to children in the Fox Cities and how public schools help them achieve success. “The Time Is Now” also explains how schools in the Fox Cities are undermined by inadequate funding in areas such as operations, special education, and mental health. This information is timely in that the state’s 2025-2027 budget is being formulated.

The PDF slide presentation is viewable HERE.

Legislative Town Halls afford members and others a chance to engage in conversation with our area's state legislators on topics of interest to voters, and learn what their priorities are for the current session.
