Community Service
AAUW TWO-MINUTE ACTIVIST
AAUW National makes it easy for your voice to be heard by legislators on issues
impacting equity for women and girls. Become a Two-Minute Activist at
https://www.aauw.org/act/two-minute-activist/ and you will receive occasional
email messages about equity issues. The emails are structured so that you can
click through to send a direct message to your own member of Congress or state
legislator in support of or opposition to a particular bill. And it really does only take 2 minutes! You’ll know they received it because they write back!
