AAUW INVITES YOU!        Join us!

Visit and then join a branch to participate in the activities that are “breaking through barriers for women and girls!”

AAUW Mission: Gender equity and economic security.
AAUW Values: Intersectional. Inclusive. Intergenerational. Empowering.

When women vote we change the conversation. AAUW has a long history of holding legislators accountable for how they vote on AAUW priority issues. AAUW is nonpartisan. We do not support any candidate or party, but we do follow the issues important to women and girls and families. Become an AAUW “Two-Minute-Activist”.
