MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT




Happy Fall and Welcome to the 2019 - 2020 League year! I am thrilled and proud to be the new President of this incredible, near 100-year community institution, the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale. The National League organization was founded in the year 1920, six months before the ratification of the 19th amendment, in order to support and help those who had fought for and won the right to vote. The League of Women Voters was formed to help these new voters understand various governmental issues and to make informed choices in their actions as citizens. 
 
During our current complex cultural and political climate, the Scarsdale League continues its nonpartisan political mission to promote democracy and engaged citizenship at local, state and national levels through advocacy, voter education and information efforts, as well as by supporting opportunities for citizen participation in government. 
 
The LWVS has a strong and varied Annual Program, which was presented, discussed and approved at our annual meeting in May. As an organization, we pride ourselves on a well-established, thorough and open-minded process of study, consensus and action. Through the consensus process, the LWVS examines all aspects of a particular subject and then tries to reach an agreement on which to base a position. When we study a topic, a study committee is formed to gather, organize and present factual information to our membership and the public. Following the presentation of gathered information, League members convene to discuss the pros and cons of an issue. We work to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to express an opinion and be heard. If our members reach consensus on an issue, the League then has a position on which to take action. Our process allows us to learn, inform, listen, participate and understand various perspectives on significant issues that affect our lives.

While the LWVS engages in and promotes advocacy and educational activities at the county, state and national levels, we pay particular attention to matters in our own local community. This year we will analyze and study the Scarsdale Village and School budgets, we will take part in a strong Youth Engagement program, and we will provide varied Voter Service programs, in addition to other initiatives. Some upcoming events include:
  • LWVS Membership Coffee featuring Professor Vanessa Merton and a Discussion of Current Immigration and Asylum Issues, Tuesday, October 15, 9:30 a.m., Private Home
  • "A Conversation with Mimi Rocah," Joint event with Scarsdale Forum and Scarsdale Public Library, Sunday, October 20, 3 p.m., Scarsdale Woman's Club
  • Food for Thought Luncheon featuring Professor Ryan Goodman, Friday, November 8, 11:30 a.m., Scarsdale Golf Club
To view our entire 2019 - 2020 program and event schedule, please see the Bulletin calendar or visit our website for more information. Please join us at one or all of our events! I hope that you become engaged in making democracy work for yourself and for our community. I look forward to seeing you during the year. Thank you for your continued support of the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale.

Best wishes,
Leah Dembitzer

Recent LWVS Events


Students Inside Albany

Rishabh Gharekhan and Andrew Morin, both Scarsdale High School students, were selected to attend the Students Inside Albany program sponsored by the League of Women Voters of New York State Education Foundation, Inc. & the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale. The 19th annual Students Inside Albany program took place from May 19-22, 2019, and brought almost 60 students from across the state to Albany to get a first-hand education about their state government. The program is designed to increase high school students' awareness of their responsibility in representative government and provide information about the tools necessary for meeting that responsibility. Below is their report on the experience.

        

The 2019 Students Inside Albany Conference

By Rishabh Gharekhan and Andrew Morin

"Hi! Are you guys going to Albany, too?" The chorus was repeated three or four times by pairs of newcomers as we waited in line for the 283 Empire Service train to Albany. As we boarded with the other friendly, open, and engaging students, it wasn't hard to start making friends as our train meandered through the picturesque Hudson Valley towards the capital.

Within twenty minutes of our arrival at the hotel a few blocks away from the capitol building, we introduced ourselves to rest of the 60 students from across the state (awaiting those from the far west, who suffered an eight hour rail delay on the train from Buffalo). These students, from the eastern tip of Long Island to Chautauqua county on the Lake Erie shoreline, from central Manhattan to deeply rural upstate communities, from the wealthiest suburbs in Nassau county to struggling northern post-industrial cities, had backgrounds that were truly representative of the incredible, often overlooked, diversity across the state, and provided an eye-opening break from the "bubble" of Scarsdale.

The conference itself began with initial presentation by Jennifer Wilson, the League's former legislative director on the workings of state government, after which we settled in to talk further with our fellow delegates across the state. Besides making personal connections, we also discussed a series of wide-ranging state issues: education funding equity, gun policy, and perhaps most divisively, drew battle lines for a three day long argument against Long Island's delegation concerning the location of the upstate-downstate border.

The next day, Albany Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy addressed our group, giving us room to ask questions and practice lobbying specific issues, notably the state's new plastic bag ban, as we prepared to shadow our own legislators that afternoon. In the State Assembly, we were able to shadow Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, a former President of the Scarsdale League of Women Voters herself, through the legislative session of the day. Listening in to her meetings with staff and committees on the Assembly floor, the assemblywoman showed us the long path between the drafting of a bill and its signature by the governor. We reviewed with her memorandums of opposition against legislation, spoke to general staff on committees she needed to get bills through and worked with her own committee on Corporations as she decided which bills to advance in the last weeks of legislative session. Through discussions with the Assemblywoman and her staff, we learned about her upcoming legislation concerning topics such as pet grooming and the abandonment of cemeteries: examples of subjects which don't grab headlines and are overlooked by the public despite being vital towards our day-to-day lives. Finally, we watched a series of votes on the day's agenda as the Speaker moved in a somewhat chaotic fashion through two dozen bills as we watched the scattered assemblymen pass legislation before us, showcasing the end of the long track laid out by Assemblywoman Paulin and her staff.

 After returning back to the hotel, we had another series of presentations. The first was given by was a member of the local library board and a county legislator. This opened our eyes to just how expansive public office can be. Not just including federal and state government, we learned how local issues dealt with by town and county offices affect our daily lives and how easy it can be to run for office yourself and make a difference. We were also presented to by the New York Public Interest Research Group and the Alliance for Quality Education, who besides educating us on our own issues and how they affect every corner of the state, taught us general strategies for advocating our own specific interests, continuing our discussion on lobbying and creating change.

The next day, we returned to the capitol to meet with our state senator's staff. With two other students from our Senatorial district, we ventured through the hallways of the Legislative Building in search of Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins' office. Upon entering her office, we were introduced many members of her team who discussed our local constituent issues as well as the major topics in Albany. Moving with two members of her staff, we continued our tour of the Capitol, entering the tucked-away legislative library before meeting the Leader herself as she emerged from a meeting of the Democratic Caucus. A larger-than-life figure, Leader Stewart-Cousins spoke to us about her journey to her position and her responsibilities before we were taken to the Senate chamber to watch the day's proceedings. Outside the chamber, we saw a different form of politics vivid example of the advocacy which we had been taught about as we encountered dozens of Green Light protestors, hoping to secure driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. We watched as several protesters were arrested and taken away, to loud cheers from their companions, discussing every aspect of the issue with our senator's staff and our fellow students.

The Students Inside Albany program was extremely rewarding. In addition to being academically stimulating, the program was a lot of fun, in parts due to the encouraged bonding with evening activities like bowling and foosball! In three days, so much was accomplished as we covered extensively every part of state government, from county legislators to the Court of Appeals. We walked in the footsteps of our legislators, joining them on the floor and in meetings with their staffs and colleagues. We toured the halls of power of New York State, from the courtrooms to the legislative chambers to the governor's office. We learned so much about specific issues and advocacy as a whole that has made us more engaged and more active citizens. But beyond the incredible levels of access and information given to us, the opportunity to meet so many bright and driven students from across the state was similarly unparalleled. We both made friends that we've kept in contact with in the weeks since the conference and connections that we will definitely preserve into the future.

League of Women Voters of New York State 
58th Biennial Convention

By Leah Dembitzer

I was honored to represent the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale and join leaders from all of the New York Leagues at the League of Women Voters of New York State 58th Biennial Convention in Albany in June. The LWVNY was founded on November 19, 1919, and was thus celebrating its 100th year at the convention. It was energizing and inspiring to attend information sessions on effective and ingenuitive voter service initiatives, as well as cutting edge youth engagement programs implemented by League organizations throughout the state. Listening to others and sharing ideas for the future of the League was an invaluable experience. 

I enjoyed two phenomenal speaker events, which exemplified the deep significance of informed action. The first speaker of note was DeNora Getachew, the Executive Director of Generation Citizen, who presented alongside Lori Campbell, a student selected to take part in Generation Citizen, an organization that promotes civics education in under-resourced high schools. The speakers conveyed the importance of supporting and empowering young people to learn and practice engaged citizenship. Getachew and Campbell conveyed how essential it is to show young citizens that it is possible to generate change through informed action. The LWVNY also hosted journalist and author, Elaine Weiss, who wrote The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote. Weiss' fascinating lecture gave rich and detailed stories of the suffrage experience as well as the founding of the League of Women Voters. In her talk, Weiss conveyed the League's central role in the history of voting and engaged citizenry in our country.

In addition to the varied and informative speaker events and workshops, the convention provided an opportunity for the New York Leagues to vote on the LWVNY slate, budget, bylaw amendments and annual program. One of the most fascinating aspects for me was to see firsthand the passionate, strong and active League leaders, who are not hesitant to stand-up and speak-up. Engaged citizenry, at its finest, is well-informed and courageous; and it is an essential means by which to create a more perfect democracy. At this historical moment, more than ever, the League of Women Voters is a vital organization to our country's citizens. I encourage everyone in our community to be an informed, engaged and active citizen and want you to know that the LWVS is here for you as a resource to enhance and enrich your citizen experience.
