State and National AAUW Public Programs and Priorities

The California and National AAUW entities each have their own Public Policy Program, with strong advocacy efforts to promote policies that advance equity for women and girls. California’s Public Policy Program is closely aligned with the National AAUW program.

California The AAUW CA Public Policy Program supports its mission to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research, and complements the National Public Policy Program.
