Civil Liberties & Homeland Security
Since September 11, 2001, the LWVUS has worked to engage our Leagues and the public in addressing civil liberties and security concerns. We are committed to the notion that informed discussions nationwide promote an understanding of the issues and what the U.S. needs to do to protect civil liberties as well as what it can and cannot do to assure security at home and abroad.

Global Democracy
The Global Democracy Program is the League’s integrated program for activists and nongovernmental organizations worldwide.
