The League of Women Voters of Arizona is proud to partner with the Safe Communities Coalition and the Arizona Faith Network to advance thoughtful, community-based solutions to Arizona's housing and homelessness crisis.
The LWV of Southern Arizona (formerly Greater Tucson) and LWV of Metropolitan Phoenix have comprehensive Housing Positions to guide their local advocacy and public education efforts on this critical issue. This Lunch & Learn provides an excellent opportunity for League members to deepen their understanding of Arizona's housing challenges and explore compassionate, practical approaches to addressing them.
We encourage all League members to attend this important program and share it with others who are interested in housing, homelessness, and community well-being.

Every eligible voter deserves to have their vote counted.
That’s the cornerstone of our democracy. And we all suffer when eligible, registered voters are turned away from the polls, unable to find their polling place, or otherwise blocked from exercising their rights.
That’s why every election year, we recruit, train, and deploy thousands of Election Protection volunteers across the nation. These trained, nonpartisan volunteers serve as voters’ first line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation, and needless obstacles to the ballot box.
With misinformation running rampant on social media and thousands of proposed new anti-voter restrictions, we need our programs to match or exceed that effort in every election this year. This is simply an unprecedented time for our elections, and that’s why we’re asking for your help today.
