As we end March's celebration of March of Women’s History Month, it is an opportune moment to reflect on the profound impact we, as the League of Women Voters Broward County, have made in empowering women and advocating for democracy in our community.


Highlighting our contributions:

As always, we raised awareness about the important role women have played in shaping our society on a local level. Our general meeting In March featured guest speaker, Debbie C. Deland, President Florida National Association for Women (FL NOW) who is a strong activist for women's rights and equality. 

We also launched a new LGBTQIA+ committee, to ensure this community can exercise their right to vote freely and safely. We are also looking to do an event during the month of June to celebrate Pride Month. 

Growing our Membership for this committee is our first priority, so please feel free to sign up under the “Get Involved” tab on our website.

Our annual Spring Luncheon was March 23 and our keynote speaker, Cheyenne Drews, Deputy Communications Director, Progress Florida, addressed Reproductive Freedom in Florida: Our rights and the fights ahead. 

Looking ahead

As we end our celebration of Women’s History Month, let us carry forward the momentum we’ve built. The work we do does not end with March; it is a year-round commitment to empower women and advocate for their rights.

We encourage all members to remain active in our initiatives and continue to champion the causes that promote equality and justice.

We would love to hear your thoughts on how we can further enhance our efforts and reach more women in our community. Please feel free to share your ideas 

Thank you for your unwavering dedication and passion. Together, we are making a difference and ensuring that the voices of women are heard loud and clear.In solidarity,

Ally Meyers

About 75 members and supporters of the League of Women Voters of Broward gathered March 23 at Jacaranda Country Club for a luncheon to raise funds for the League Education Fund and to raise spirits as the League works for causes about which we care. 

Speaker Cheyenne Drews of Progress Florida was keynote speaker.

Iris Convissar organized a raffle with more than 20 high-value items. This is the key fundraising element of the lunch. 

Women of the Watershed: May 10 free film at library

Join us for the screening of a South Florida documentary, "Women of the Watershed" at the Southwest Regional Library on May 10 from 3 to 5 p.m. 

In the film, a young woman journeys to the source of the Everglades headwaters to better understand the historic challenges of water management and pollution that now threaten this fragile ecosystem. Along the way she meets a new generation of advocates who are redefining the balance of women in conservation.

The program is a collaboration between the League, the Sierra Club, the Climate Reality Project and the Broward County Library.
