League of Women Voters - Flint Area Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy. Our History
The League of Women Voters of the Flint Area grew out of the Woman Suffrage Movement.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political membership organization which influences public policy through education and advocacy. These are two distinct roles:
Voters Service/Citizen Education - we present unbiased, nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues. Action/Advocacy - we are nonpartisan, but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or aga

inst particular policies in the public interest. To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we may use funds from the League of Women Voters of Flint, Michigan Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit educational organization. To conduct action and advocacy activities, we use funds from the League of Women Voters of the Flint Area, Michigan, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation. Guiding Principles
We believe in:
- respect for individuals
- the value of diversity
- the empowerment of the grassroots, both within the League and in communities

We will:
- act with trust, integrity, professionalism
- operate in an open and effective manner to meet the needs of those we serve, both members and the public
- take the initiative in seeking diversity in membership
- acknowledge our heritage as we seek our path to the future. In 1915, eight Flint women founded the Flint Woman Suffrage Club. By March, 1919, Michigan, along with the fourteen other full suffrage states, joined to form the League of Women Voters. The Flint Woman Suffrage Club was reformed into the League of Women Voters of Genesee County, with several local units. By 1926, there were 183 members. Through the following decades, members were active in educating voters, getting out the vote, studying and advocating on issues of city and county government, child labor and welfare, presidential primaries, limitation of armaments, minimum wage, housing, education, health, fair employment practices, conservation, trade agreements and immigration. In 1974, our name was changed to League of Women Voters of the Flint Area. Members - men and women - continue to become informed and active on these and other issues at the local, state and national levels.

And we're still fighting!

And we're still fighting!

Today marks the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment—a milestone in the fight for voting rights, but not the end of that fight.

The amendment prohibited denying the right to vote on the basis of s*x, but in practice, it did not give all women the right to vote. Women of color continued to face discriminatory laws, intimidation, and other barriers to the ballot. It took decades of organizing and advocacy—and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—to strengthen federal protections against racial discrimination in voting.

That history matters today.

As the SAVE Act threatens to create new barriers to voter registration, we have to remember the lessons of our history: when access to the ballot gets harder, the people most affected are often those who have had to fight the hardest to gain that access in the first place.

The fight for voting rights continues. Tell your senators to vote 'NO' on the SAVE Act!
