Our Mission & Main Objectives
Our Mission:
We, the Nonpartisan League, strive to support everyday people rising up to stand in defense of our rights and to better look after workers, farmers, and families so that we remain strong in our resolve to provide a sustainable, inclusive, and equitable society. We fight for the right of the people to self-govern and push back when big businesses or political parties threaten those rights.
Our main objectives are to support ballot measures that would enact positive change, endorse any candidate, no matter their political affiliation that is supportive of our mission; and during our biennial legislative session, lobby either for or against bills that would most affect North Dakotans.
Our primary objectives are to:
- Support ballot measures that would enact positive change.
- Support any candidate, no matter what their political affiliation that is supportive of our mission, principles, and values; and:
- During our North Dakota biennial legislative session, lobby either for or against bills that would most affect North Dakotans.
Our Story
We believe in the power of community, the State of North Dakota, and the importance of giving back. That's why we chose to revive the Nonpartisan League in 2017.
