Public Policy

As an organization and as individual members, we advocate for federal, state and local laws and policies to ensure equity and end discrimination.  This work is political but not partisan. We believe that Public Policy work is the most effective way to fulfill our mission to advance equity for women and girls.

  • Set Public Policy Priorities
  • Analyze pending legislation and determine bills to be tracked, sponsored, or supported by AAUW WA
  • Consider state ballot measures and determine which to endorse or oppose
  • Educate and encourage branch members to engage in public policy work
  • Provide resources, gather data, and compile reports
