This session will go into the WHY we observe our local legislative bodies as much as the best practices to do so.

Monthly meeting of the League of Women Voters of the Palatine, Barrington and Schaumburg Areas.

Let‘s stand up for the environment in Illinois! Join us for an Environmental Lobby Day at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield on Wednesday, April 8. We will meet with state lawmakers and urge them to pass the Polystyrene Foam Foodware Ban, which phases out the worst of the worst single-use plastic in our state, the Wetlands Protection Act, which enacts state-level wetlands protections, and the POWER Act, which protects our water, energy, and ratepayers from harmful data center impacts.

Join the League of Women Voters of Illinois for our annual look at current issues. Learn from experts and be prepared to advocate for change in your community and state. This is a hybrid event—join us in person for idea-sharing, networking, and camaraderie, or, if you can’t make it, tune in from the comfort of home.
