AAUW members will vote in April to remove the educational requirement for membership. This is the next step to modernizing our organization. Over the years the work has changed and so have we. Clearly we have achieved the educational goal and we now are set to move to the future. If the college education requirement had not been in place back in the day, Eleanor Roosevelt could have been a member. Think about it!

BLACK LIVES MATTER
On behalf of our 170,000 members and supporters, AAUW commits to fighting for justice, long-term and lasting change, and we stand in solidarity against racism. We also acknowledge that as an organization we have our own work to do.
And, as a member of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, we will work to advance the policies and systemic changes identified in the New Era of Public Safety: A Guide to Fair, Safe, and Effective Community Policing and Vision for Justice platform.
