Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.

The League of Women Voters of Glenview-Glencoe is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages

informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues,

and seeks to influence public policy through education and advocacy. The League is nonpartisan in that it never

supports or opposes candidates or political parties, and political in that it takes action on governmental issues

for which positions have been adopted through member study and agreement..

Meeting of the Minds Discussion Group

WHEN: Tuesday, March 3 @ 7:00 to 8:30 PM
WHERE: Ann Yoshida's home

SPONSOR: League of Women Voters Glenview-Glencoe

Join us for monthly small group discussion on current topics important to Leaguers. This month, we will be looking at ways to stand firm in resisting tyranny with 20 ideas found in Timothy Snyder's book, On Tyranny, a small book, just over 100, 5-inch pages. If you can't read it prior to gathering, it will still provide a lively, encouraging conversation. And we will look at what the LWVUS and LWVIL are currently doing that supports these values.

Sponsors: LWV-Glenview-Glencoe and co-sponsored with area Leagues of Evanston, Wilmette and Winnetka-Northfield-Kenilworth and the Glenview Public Library

Women's History Month Celebration: From Parlor to Politics -- Women's Fight for the Right to Vote

WHEN: Saturday, March 14 @ 2:00 PM
WHERE: Glenview Library Community Room

Independent historian, lecturer and actor Annette Baldwin will reveal the astonishing legal and social conditions that governed women’s lives and what provoked the women into organization and revolution. Thousands of women with vision, courage, strategic plannikng, networking and tenacity drove the 72-year battle for women’s right to vote. The struggle ended in August 1920 with ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, recognizing and guaranteeing American women's right to vote. Annette will deliver moving passages from the speeches of Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul, spoken as the women may have delivered them.

Annual Program Planning Workshops

WHEN: Tuesday, March 24 @ 7:00 PM
WHERE: Zoom

WHEN: Wednesday, April 8 @ 7:00 PM
WHERE: Glenview Public Library

Attend our 2026 Program* Planning meeting. This is the opportunity for ALL members, not just the Board, to weigh in on how our League will prioritize our time and other resources for the 2026-27 year. For example, Voter Service is a Program item that we typically adopt each year. (See attached for 2025-2026 adopted Program.)

We will have two meetings, one via Zoom, and the second in person so that as many members as possible have the chance to provide their input. Based on the results of the two meetings, a proposed Program will be presented to the members at our May 14 annual meeting for adoption.

Please sign up for one of the Program Planning meetings HERE so that we can plan accordingly.

Note: Members who have suggestions for new areas of focus in the 2026-27 year are invited to submit your proposals to lwvglens@gmail.com no later than Friday, March 20.

*"Program" can be a confusing League term. It is different from program (little "p") which are events we host for education, fundraising, and other reasons outside of conducting the business of our League.
