LWVTC CALL TO ACTION
MARCH, 2025

 

  

The Thurston County League of Women Voters
stands unwavering in its commitment to
democracy, the Constitution, and the sacred rights
of every American.

We are resolute in our mission to empower all
citizens—especially those whose voices have
too often been ignored and silenced—
ensuring that everyone has a rightful place in
the decisions that shape our nation.

Defending the rule of law and standing up
against hate are not partisan acts; they are
fundamental duties of all who believe in
justice. We demand that our local, state
and national representative governments
serve all people with fairness, integrity,
and an unshakable dedication to upholding
our nation’s founding principles.  READ MORE

LAND USE/COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING The League maintains a position that:   The concept of planning is a necessary and desirable adjunct of government to provide for orderly development. And that:   Regional planning as a necessary part of the total comprehensive planning process to provide for cooperation and coordination among political subdivisions. 

The League encourages members to get involved by participating in the comprehensive planning now being done by the governmental jurisdictions in Thurston County.  An informative article is being published in the VOTER newsletter. Here is the most recent article:  March 2025 Voter Article 

Citizen input is being sought through 2025.  LWVTC will provide details of opportunities for attending hearings, reviewing documents, and submitting comments. Dates, jurisdictional contact, and additional  information is updated frequently.   
   
The City of Tumwater is holding an online hearing in March.  Find additional information      HERE
