Public Policy

For more than 100 years, AAUW has taken strong positions on issues affecting women and families. AAUW is involved on both a Federal and State level on issues concerning the following: Education, Pay Equity, Reproductive rights, Welfare, Social Security, Title IX, Civil Rights, and many more issues that impact AAUW's mission. AAUW on the federal level has a federal lobby corps made up of volunteer members from Virginia, Maryland and Delaware that visit Legislators on Capital Hill every Thursday while the Congress in Session. On the State level, we have a State Lobbyist and a VP of Public Policy. On a weekly basis they attend the Women's Roundtable at the Virginia General Assembly and lobby on behalf of our Virginia AAUW members.

Please contact Laura Wimmer, AAUW Greater Richmond Public Policy Chair, with questions concerning branch involvement in AAUW's public policy activities.
