You're cordially invited to enjoy an evening with the League of Women Voters of Texas, supporters, allies, and other civic advocates to celebrate the work of the League and community partners working toward the same goals: Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.  

 

The League of Women Voters of Texas' 2023 annual fundraising dinner, "Women Power Texas," will be held on Monday, February 27, 2023 at the UT Etter-Harbin Alumni Center in Austin, Texas. The funds raised from this year's event will be used to support the League's mission throughout the upcoming year.

This year's event also coincides with Lobby Days, an event where the League and other civic advocates come together to discuss priority issues in the upcoming legislative session. 

2023 Keynote Speaker

Rochelle Garza

Rochelle Garza, a former attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union and former candidate for Texas Attorney General, will discuss her career advocating for civil rights in the courts. She has fought for people with disabilities, immigrants, and adequate health care. Garza advocated for reproductive rights of immigrant teens in detention, including the Garza v. Hargan case in which she was the guardian for Jane Doe, a pregnant 17-year-old denied the right to choose. A month-long legal battle ensued when the former administration staged an unprecedented intervention to try to stop Jane Doe from making the decision that was hers alone to make. It is because of the Garza v Hargan case and other court cases that we are proud to announce Rochelle Garza as our keynote speaker.

2023 Honorees

The League wishes to honor the organizations and individuals below for their impact in the community.

Texas Gun Sense


As a leader in gun policy advocacy, we appreciate the efforts of Texas Gunsense and its Executive Director, Nicole Golden's in creating a coalition on behalf of Texans to raise awareness of and advocate for common-sense gun policy.

The Texas Tribune


The League appreciates The Texas Tribune's commitment to provide nonpartisan news, information, and events to promote informed civic engagement in our democracy.

Texas Impact


We honor Texas Impact and Executive Director, Bee Moorhead, for work on voting rights, women's health, and Medicare expansion. We appreciate their outreach not only to people of faith but to all Texans including our policymakers.
