| Monday, February 14, 2011 | All day | Founding of the League of Women Voters.
91 years ago, Carrie Chapman Catt first proposed a League of Women Voters to "finish the fight" and work to end all discrimination against women. And so the League of Women Voters was founded on Valentine's Day in 1920, six months before the ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. Today, we remain a grassroots organization with more than 150,000 members and supporters and 850 Leagues throughout all 50 states.

Public Forum: Independent Bipartisan Advisory Commission on Redistricting.
The Commission on Redistricting has scheduled four public hearings around the state this month as part of its goal to ensure bipartisan citizen involvement in the General Assembly and Congressional redistricting process. The Commission invites citizens to present their ideas about how new political district boundaries should be drawn in keeping with population changes recorded by the 2010 Census. With broad public input and with the assistance of impartial experts, the Commission has been charged to make recommendations about new district maps for the 100 seats in the House of Delegates, 40 seats in the state Senate and Virginia's 11 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
