Where We Stand 2019-2021

If you have ever wondered where the League stands on an issue or policy look no further. Where We Stand 2019-2021 is the platform of the League of Women Voters of Illinois, that in companionship with Impact on Issues, forms the basis for all action taken by the Illinois Leagues on state and national issues and the League Principles. 
 
This publication will cover the LWVIL state positions and the action issues adopted at the 2019 Convention that are designed to help local Leagues use the state program effectively. The material is organized into four topic sections:  Representative Government, International Relations, Natural Resources and Social Policy, corresponding to the order they appear in Impact on Issues.  Each section begins with a summary of relevant LWVUS positions and major action taken by Illinois Leagues under those positions. LWVIL positions are then listed in full, followed by a brief historical background and recent action taken, with references to the interrelationship between positions. 

Download Where We Stand (Full Version) or Where We Stand (Abridged Version).

You can also read more by reading the inaugural  Issues & Report E Newsletter that outlines the most recent priority issues and impact matrix.
