LWV Mission Statement

​

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization. It does not support or oppose any candidate or party. (See the policy​ about using LWV materials.) The League encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Membership is open to all persons at least 16 years of age.

 

As of February 2025, membership is being handled by the national League of Women Voters. Dues will no longer be a fixed rate but will be pay what you can. The recommended dues amount for all members across the country will be $75, but members can pay any amount with a minimum of $20. 

 

Under the current system, LWV of Ridgewood pays a fixed rate per member to LWV of NJ and to LWVUS. Under the new system, a percentage of dues will go to the state and national League. This means that when you renew, if you would like to make an additional contribution directly to LWV of Ridgewood as some members choose to do when they renew, this will need to be separate from choosing a higher dues amount. A higher dues amount benefits the League as a whole and allows us to offer the option of lower dues to increase our member base but does not exclusively support the local League.
