Dear branch members,

=====================================================================
1, Inclusion in Practice: How AAUW’s Policies and Practices Promote Inclusion

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IhHjiqZARNmRqdXSR9KxFQ
Please join us for the AAUW National Inclusion & Equity Committee webinar on inclusion policies and practices. The webinar is designed to aid local branches and states as they explore various national policies and bylaws of AAUW national, featuring the resources available in AAUW’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Toolkit. The webinar provides an informative look at several national policies and practices, including the soon-to-be-announced member civility policy.

2. School Boards: The Battleground for the Education Culture Wars
Wed., Feb. 7, 2024, 7 PM ET
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Y2RuiP5PSNuey04jKNymAA
Across the country, we have seen school boards, and candidates for school boards, taking up controversial policies that have led to banning books from school libraries; the censorship of curriculum in school classrooms due to individuals finding content “objectionable”; and policies leading to the prevention of safe school climates for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities . Please join us for an AAUW National Public Policy Committee webinar to learn how one AAUW state board is fighting back and what you can do locally.

If you have questions about either webinar, please reach out to Robin Lucas (lucasr@aauw.org), Grassroots Advocacy Manager, and Meghan Kissell (kissellm@aauw.org), Senior Director of Policy & Member Advocacy.
