In our February issue of Capital Ideas we asked you to sign up for the Two Minute Activist program that AAUW National sponsors to make it easy for us to respond to issues we support.  If you didn’t get around to it, here is the info again.  To register, do a Google search for AAUW Action Network, and the first listing will be for the Two Minute Activist.  Enter your info, and they will start sending you the emails.

The AAUW Public Policy Committee has set a goal of recruiting at least half of our members to participate in this program.  If you are already a Two Minute Activist or if you signed up as a result of this message or the February article, please contact Cherril Peabody at capeabody@comcast.net and let her know.  Thanks!

Calling All Available Members! Your Presence is Needed April 11 for Equal Pay Day! by Nancy McCabe

“Aunt Sam” needs you!

We need local AAUW members to attend a session of the California Assembly on Monday, April 11 as our AAUW Resolution on Equal Pay Day will be up for a vote. We need a large group to gain visibility for AAUW California. You will enjoy seeing how our state’s elected officials work. We are gathering at 12:30 p.m. outside the L Street entrance to the Capitol to go through security and be in place by 1:30 p.m. Email Nancy McCabe at mccaben@comcast.net ASAP if you can join us. It is painless and should be fun! Gathering for lunch beforehand is always an option!
