A CENTURY OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS MINNESOTA
To celebrate the 19th Amendment’s centennial year, LWV Minnesota is creating a traveling exhibit to recognize the organization’s mission and history over the past century. After its debut at LWVMN's Convention in April 2019, this exhibit of 12 pop-up panels will be available to local Leagues for display in libraries, historical societies, and other public venues.
Exhibit visitors will discover that: “Growing from the deep roots of the suffrage movement in the 19th century, Minnesota’s non-partisan League of Women Voters uses a statewide network of local chapters to encourage informed and active participation in government, register and empower voters, work to increase understanding of public policy issues, cultivate women leaders, and influence public policy through education and advocacy."
Specifically, the goals of the 12-panel exhibit are: 
  • To recognize and celebrate a century of activism by LWV Minnesota
  • To recall our history through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusion
  • To activate visitors to educate themselves and to vote
  • To remind visitors that democracy depends on their participation
  • To empower visitors to act in defense of democracy

  • Carried in over 80,000 registration forms to the Secretary of State’s office since 2007.
  • Increased the percentage of new citizens registering to vote (it is now about 90-95%).
