🍁 Fall Into Action: Your Voice, Our Advocacy:

Cooler days bring new opportunities to build community and protect democracy

November 2, 2025

Published by LWVAZ Advocacy Committee to update members on news and calls to action.

Editors: Gitelle Seer, Pinny Sheoran

Watch for our Call to Action emails, call the legislators on the committees with your concerns, and be sure to submit your comments on the RTS system. It’s essential that every Arizona citizen speak out against any bills that take away the power of your vote.

The link to all issues of “Call to Action” is posted on our website.

As predictable as a pumpkin spice latte, it's that time of year again - League survey season. Help shape the policies and community actions that matter most to you. Every member’s voice guides our work. Completing our annual surveys is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to influence where we focus our advocacy and how we engage members to protect voters and strengthen democracy.

Member engagement is our superpower. Each response adds strength. Every voice helps shape our direction. These surveys are more than just forms; they are your vote for the future we are dedicated to defending together.
