League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson DEI, Candidate Forum, and Moderator Training

One of the newest committees of the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson is the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee. The national organization, League of Women Voters of the United States, originally urged local Leagues to create such a committee specifically to encourage the participation of more Latinos, African-Americans, Asians, Native Americans, men, and younger people. This diversity is adding a variety of viewpoints and opinions and broadening the scope of the work that the League accomplishes. Former Tucson League President Judy Wood is interviewed by host Vivian Harte in this special edition of the show. Judy is the Co-Chair of the League’s DEI Committee.

The League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson will hold a mayoral and city council candidate forum on Thursday, September 26, 2019, at 6:00 pm at the YWCA, 525 North Bonita Avenue. Co-sponsors are the YWCA and Tucson Young Professionals. The candidates will be those who will be on the ballot in the November 5 general election. The forum is free and open to the public.
