LWV-Acton Area

Welcome

The LWV-Acton Area is a non-partisan, grassroots organization in Massachusetts that supports and opposes issues, but not candidates or political parties. Our charter is to protect voters, educate and engage voters, reform money in politics and defend the environment.

The League is open to women and men over the age of 16 who want to make democracy work. The League works at national, state and local levels to influence policy through civic education and advocacy.

The State of Open Town Meeting

and Weighing Alternatives for Local Governance

In this webinar four panelists speak about what works with Open Town Meeting and what we can learn from other types of local governance such as Representative Town Meeting and Town Council. Watch to learn about what’s on the horizon for Open Town Meeting, how the legislative function of the town works in each form of government, ways we might overcome barriers to participation, and how the community can participate in their town government under various types of governance.
