Vote in AAUW National’s Annual Art Contest
AAUW National received more than 400 submissions to this year’s art contest! Through March 3, members can weigh in on their 10 favorites. Make sure to vote for “Rain make the flowers grow” by Branch member Susan Sadoff Obee.
The six winning entries will be featured on a collection of AAUW note cards mailed to members this spring.
Tell Congress: Crisis Relief Can’t Wait!
With more than 30 million cases of COVID-19 and 500,000 dead, our nation needs help now.
Key emergency protections are set to expire by March 14, and many national safety concerns have yet to be addressed. As crisis relief negotiations continue, we must make sure that our elected officials hear us loud and clear: you have been elected to serve during a crisis, now do your job and pass a comprehensive relief bill.
Contact your elected official in the U.S. House of Representatives today.
