AAUW is nonpartisan. As an organization and as individual members, we advocate for federal, state and local laws and policies to ensure equity and end discrimination.

AAUW-WA members work on issues and support legislation based on our public policy priorities.

 

Read our AAUW-WA Public Policy Priorities.

 

We engage with candidates and elected officials from all major parties equally. Our branches host programs on local issues and elections and promote community interest in AAUW legislative priorities.

 

Lobby Day 2024

Each year, AAUW-WA hosts Lobby Day. Bringing AAUW members together from all over the state, our Public Policy team presents priorities, provides expert speakers, and explains our lobbying efforts.
