League of Women Voters of Appleton-Fox Cities
Local Support Positions
Preamble (2024)
Our local League chapter was founded in 1939. Over many decades, we focused on Appleton and Outagamie County, conducting studies to develop our local positions. Our League has grown along with the increasingly diverse Fox Cities region, and in 2021, officially became the League of Women Voters of Appleton-Fox Cities. In order to expand our outreach and influence and to maintain current and future relevancy, we hereby adopt this preamble to our positions document.
The League of Women Voters of Appleton-Fox Cities is committed to strengthening our communities by empowering individuals and groups to better engage with their government. Whether explicitly stated or not, the League of Women Voters of Appleton-Fox Cities affirms that our local governments, commissions, and advisory committees must reflect the diversity of our communities and uphold the right of every individual to live a healthy and authentic life with a sense of belonging, respect, and acceptance. We intentionally advocate with, and for all to be treated with dignity, including those who are marginalized, stereotyped, misunderstood, or intentionally ignored.
