Issues of Importance for the League of Women Voters of Fremont County
-
Missing and Murdered Indigenous People
LWVFC recognizes that MMIP is an issue of utmost importance to the Wind River Indian Reservation communities. We understand that history has proven that Indigenous people have been disproportionately impacted by violence in the United States. For our democracy to provide liberty and justice for all, this violence and injustice must stop.
-
Health Care Reform
Every US resident should have access to affordable, quality health care, including birth control and the privacy to make reproductive choices.
-
Voting Rights
Voting is a fundamental principle, and all Americans deserve the equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy. We are dedicated to using advocacy, litigation, and resources like VOTE411 to include more voters, expand and protect voter access, and ensure that elections remain fair and accessible.
-
Expanding Voter Access
We fight to increase voters’ access to the polls, including expanding early voting and automatic and online voter registration.
-
Redistricting
We promote transparent and accountable redistricting processes and end hyper-partisan practices that don't benefit constituents. We believe responsibility for fair redistricting should be vested in an independent special commission, with a membership that reflects the diversity of the unit of government. The League works in states across the country to pass ballot initiatives to institute independent redistricting commissions.
