Braver Angels is part of a national movement to bridge the partisan divide in an effort to strengthen our democratic republic.  The organization is balanced at every level of leadership, from the national level to local alliances, with equal numbers of Reds and Blues (and also welcomes "purples").   Braver Angels offers community workshops, debates, and structured conversations that give people with different political beliefs the opportunity to listen to each other, find common ground where it exists, and disagree respectfully - and with more understanding - where it doesn’t. They will provide an overview about the work of the organization, explain the “Braver Angels Way”, and introduce a sample exercise. All are welcome to attend.

Location: Struble Room, Chester County Library, 450 Exton Square Pkwy, Exton, PA 19341

A little-known Pennsylvania law could block new U.S. citizens from voting in the May 19 primary. Unlike most states, Pennsylvania requires citizens to be naturalized for at least one month before voting, meaning anyone who becomes a citizen on or after April 20, 2026 may not be able to participate.

Join the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania on April 14 at 6 PM for a webinar with Fair Elections Center to learn what this law means, who it affects, and how it is being challenged. If you are planning to naturalize soon, this session is especially important.

Even if you are not directly affected, it is a crucial opportunity to understand how outdated laws impact voting rights and why protecting those rights matters for everyone.

Hosted by the League of Women Voters of Indiana County

Plans to redevelop the Homer City Power Plant property to a data center complex powered by natural gas have raised hopes and concerns about the potential impacts in Indiana County. Seeking a balanced understanding of different perspectives on the economic, environmental, and societal effects of a data center in our midst, League of Women Voters of Indiana County (LWVIC) is beginning a series of programs that examine these issues and encourage productive discussions.

In the first program of the series, Andrew Bockis, environmental and energy lawyer at Saul Ewing LLP, will provide an overview of how power is provided to our region, why Pennsylvania is a favored location for data centers, and an overview of the legal and regulatory framework for data centers and potential impact to energy costs.

Public Program to Discuss Union County’s Future Development

Hosted by the League of Women Voters of the Lewisburg Area.

Public Library for Union County, 255 Reitz Blvd, Lewisburg.

Join residents, business owners, and elected officials for a community discussion on the updated Comprehensive Plan for Union County.

The presentation will be led by Shawn McLaughlin, AICP, who will outline the vision, priorities, and strategies included in the county’s updated Comprehensive Plan. The plan serves as a long-range framework guiding land use, infrastructure planning, economic development, and quality-of-life initiatives.

The program will address how demographic changes, housing trends, and economic development pressures are shaping the county’s future. Topics will include questions many residents are asking: how growth will be managed, whether Union County may host large-scale projects such as data centers or warehouse developments, and how concerns about traffic, farmland preservation, and housing availability can be addressed.

Attendees will also learn how the plan will be implemented and how county leaders, municipalities, planning boards, economic development organizations, and community stakeholders work together to guide future decisions.

The presentation will also highlight key elements of the plan, including land use, natural and agricultural resources, housing, transportation, economic development, cultural and historic resources, and community facilities and utilities.
