Dems to host League of Women Voters

The Democrats of Rossmoor will hold its monthly TGWD (“Thank Goodness We’re Democrats”) meeting in the Fireside Room at Gateway on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m.

At this Rossmoor event, the League of Women Voters (LWV) will discuss the pros and cons of all 14 of the propositions that will be on the November ballot. By attending, residents can help ensure that they are prepared to fill out their ballot with confidence.

The League speakers will also provide information about a major LWV GOTV (“get out the vote”) initiative that engages and encourages concerned citizens to help rally people to vote to protect the right to vote. The initiative called “Unite and Rise 8.5” aims to engage and mobilize 8.5 million voters through advocacy, civic education and community engagement.

Speaking at the meeting will be representatives from the League of Women Voters.

LWV is a nonpartisan, grassroots civic organization founded in 1920 to help women exercise their right to vote after the 19th amendment passed. Its mission is to encourage informed and active participation in government, increase understanding of public policy issues and influence public policy through education and advocacy.

While historically focused on women’s civic engagement, it now welcomes all genders and emphasizes impartiality regarding candidates while taking positions on issues after member study and consensus.

For example, on April 17, 2025, Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters, and Dianna Wynn, president of the League of Women Voters, took the serious step of labeling the current moment as a constitutional crisis and concurrently announced the “Unite and Rise 8.5” initiative.

Residents are invited to join this informative and critical conversation. Email info@democratsofrossmoor.org for more information.
