Proposed Program: Summary and Comments on Proposed Amendments

In 2022, LWV-MM adopted a program that focused our priorities to better reflect the availability of members to lead action, advocacy, and education efforts. The three priorities adopted in the 2022 program were:

Voters service
Social justice
Environmental Protection

This year, the Board is recommending only minor adjustments from the program adopted last year. The minor changes were designed to recognize recent local actions and legislative initiatives that deserve LWV observation and action.

Three Other Areas remain, not as top priorities, but important enough that LWVMM will be following them and acting as needed. These Other Areas in the proposed program include:

Local government
Education
Broadband access
