January 2026 DEIJ Update

From DEIJ Chair rhyen enger:

As the DEIJ Chair for LWVOR, in 2026 I will offer a one-hour discussion with League Leaders across the state every other month. This will be a time for Leagues and State Units to learn and grow together to be more equitable and inclusive in our respective communities. The format will vary between training, workshops, and discussions. 

The first discussion will be February 10 at 5:30pm with a focus on the LWVUS Unite & Rise Playbook Three: Building Power Through Partnerships. We will discuss partnerships at the local level—what's worked, what hasn't worked, and how to include DEIJ in our efforts.

To prepare, you may want to review or attend the following LWVUS Webinars:

• Nov. 18, 2025 | Session 1: Laying the Groundwork: Building Sustainable Partnerships (Passcode: v0%3i=S3)

• Dec. 16, 2025 | Session 2: National Partnerships for Local Engagement (Passcode: E?t8wTLe)

• Jan. 20, 2026 (3pm ET) | Session 3: Partnering for Voter Engagement Ahead of 2026 Elections
