Civic Engagement

In March MWEG hosted a spring conference — "A More Perfect Union: Women Building Peace and Community." Recordings are available on Central.

MWEG began advocating for an update to the Electoral Count Act in July 2021 and continued working on this until it passed in Dec. 2022.

The source of government power is the people. That’s us. That’s you. Your vote is vital, and it can be the means to peaceful change.

A principled voter asks, “How do my candidates balance the tension between rights and responsibility?”

A principled voter asks, “Do my candidates demonstrate civility and promote peace when speaking about political opposition?”

A principled voter asks, “How do my candidates help relieve human suffering?” Our reaction to human suffering reflects our moral state.

A principled voter asks, “Will my candidates promote international cooperation?” National acts can reverberate far beyond borders.

A principled voter asks, How do my candidates advocate for our environment? Our environment impacts spiritual, mental, and physical health.

A principled voter asks, “Do my candidates demonstrate principles of ethical leadership?” We expect elected officials to obey the law.

A principled voter asks, “Are my candidates committed to our founding principle of equality?” Equality matters because people matter.

A principled voter asks, “Will my candidates foster unity or division?” Democracies rely on cooperation and shared vision to function.

A principled voter asks, “Will my candidates protect the votes of all citizens?” Prioritize voter access and fair representation.

What is a principled voter? It’s someone who understands the problems affecting our society — and votes to work toward solutions.
