AAUW 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 equity being knowledgeable and aware of the current status of important issues.

AAUW provides central issue pages that offer the freshest information, resources, and most effective avenues for action on issues important to you.  Access these pages by clicking on any of the issues below.
