Advocacy⏤supporting, defending, or arguing for a specific cause or issue⏤ is at the core of the League's mission. LWV of Detroit looks to our state League (LWVMI) to take positions on legislative or citizen initiatives and other proposed governmental policy or regulatory decisions. If an initiative reaches a legislative committee, a voting body or other decision makers, the League may take action (testimony, letters, phone calls, public statements...). The lack of public action is not indicative of the numerous decisions to support or oppose an issue that the League makes on a regular basis.
