Affirm the Equal Rights Amendment
It’s been more than a century since the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was introduced. Without the ERA in the U.S. Constitution, advances in women’s rights that we took for granted are being weakened or even reversed. Waiting a century for over half of the U.S. population to attain constitutional equality is long enough. Not one more year!
Advocacy Toolkit
AAUW has always stood for solutions that work for all women and families — and we do not intend to stop now. AAUW’s advocacy has made women’s voices heard from the White House to Congress to the statehouse, and your voice is needed now more than ever! That’s why AAUW has compiled a set of resources to guide you in advocating for women and girls through a variety of tactics and actions.
AAUW Action Fund
The AAUW Action Fund provides GOTV and voter education resources, in addition to lobbying on Capitol Hill for the issues affecting women and girls. Learn more about our work to advance gender equity and how you can get involved.
