Note to AAUW MO Public Policy Committee Members

Given  the reduced activity at the state and national level I am suggesting we cancel our June meeting and concentrate on the following:
1. Reach out to a city council member or county legislator and ask them to sponsor legislation to ban the use of salary history in the hiring process.
2. Connect with your jurisdiction and ask about the Pregnant Worker Fairness Act at the local level.
3. Meet with your city manager or county executive and request they do a gender study to document salary equity and disparities.
4. Seek out a senior center to meet with residents and do updates on voter registration and education: curbside voting, absentee voting, and disability rights. 
 
Look forward to hearing your results in July.
