Every national League position is based on nationwide study & consensus among members. In the consensus process
members
draw on balanced pro/con materials. Once a position is reached,
the League marshals all of its tools to influence the shape
of public policy.
Grassroots lobbying efforts are the key to the League legislative success. Strategies include testimony, letters
and telephone calls to key legislators, working in coalition with other groups, community outreach and media campaigns.
Does
the League support parties and candidates?
No. Never. The League is political, but strictly non-partisan. Our members decide
what issues the League will address and what action the League will take on the issues.
