At the LWVWA Convention in 2023, Washington state League members voted to undertake a new study on Immigration and Immigrant Integration. The proposal stated, "This study will delve deeply into legislative options at the state level for enhancing the lives of immigrants and the role the League could be playing in ensuring immigrants have pathways to economic, social, and civic integration into the communities in which they live. It would also allow LWVWA to assess systematically the extent to which current WA state legislation, such as the 2019 Keep Washington Working (KWW) Act, is fulfilling the legislative intent to protect immigrants living in the state." The LWVWA uses an established consensus process in developing positions on studies. This study is the first step in that process. Next, local Leagues will meet to develop consensus on the issues raised in the study and then adopt a written statement of position on the issues, which the LWVWA Board approves.
