League of Women Voters of Houston

We are a nonpartisan political organization serving Harris County by encouraging everyone to participate in the civic life of our community.

Our trusted, non-partisan outreach works to encourage active and informed participation in government and to increase understanding of major public policy issues. We sponsor candidate debates and forums, town-hall style seminars on important public issues, voter registration drives, election information outreach, and of course our fabeled Voters Guide to the Election and the Candidates. We never endorse or oppose any candidate or political party. And we've been at it since 1920!

In 1965, John Lewis crossed a bridge in Selma knowing what waited on the other side. He gave his blood so every American could cast a ballot.

Six years after his passing, John Lewis’s warning is not history, it’s headline news. This week, as false claims about election security once again threaten public trust in our democracy, we stand in defending the freedom to vote.

In 2026, the attacks on that right look different, but the answer is the same one Lewis gave us: keep marching, keep organizing, keep voting.

Good trouble lives on here in Houston! Join us TODAY at 3 PM for a free screening of “John Lewis: Good Trouble” + panel discussion at Regal Edwards Greenway.

Our community deserves answers.

On July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, husband, father, and longtime East End neighbor, was killed by a federal immigration agent on his way to work. When someone is killed by a government agent, the public deserves a prompt, independent, and transparent investigation.

Houstonians are speaking up. Our officials need to know Houston expects transparency, all the way to the end.

We’ve prepared ready-to-personalize letters to the Mayor, your Council Member, and the District Attorney, each takes about 5 minutes, in English y Español.
