PUBLIC POLICY
AAUW's tradition of actively pursuing equity dates back to its earliest days. Consider this: In 1917, college women stood vigil outside the White House, protesting the fact that women could not vote - and in doing so, they became the first group ever to picket the White House for a political cause. Years later, determined AAUW members found a way around the wartime ban on conventions by conducting their business on paper, by mail. Today, we continue our active advocacy on behalf of women and girls by lobbying Congress, educating voters, and influencing the debate on critical issues.
Issue Advocacy isn't just about AAUW lending its name to an issue, or speaking up on Capitol Hill. Issue Advocacy is about AAUW members and all citizens concerned with equality and being knowledgeable and aware of the current status of important issues. Below are issues that may be important to you. AAUW compiles current information and resources for as many issues as possible to provide central issue pages that offer the freshest information and most effective avenues for action on issues important to you.
