Events of Interest
Periodically, we will share information on AAUW mission-focused, non-partisan, events in our area. These are not sponsored by AAUW. If you are a member and know of an event other members may have an interest in, email Leslie Sworsky.
●●● Mission in Action – Defending Democracy ●●●
It is through the democratic process that women have achieved the advances towards equity that we enjoy today. It is through the democratic process that we will continue to advance equity for women and girls. We must continue to make our voices heard on behalf of our AAUW mission, and in support of democracy, or risk losing what we have already achieved and making it impossible to attain any additional gains.

FROM THE NO KINGS WEBSITE: “A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.”
