AAUW is firing up our 2012 Get Out the Vote initiative by hosting our first annual Women’s Equality Day Summer Snowball Launch as part of a broader collective effort to preserve women’s Health and Economic Rights (HER).

By joining forces with other women’s organizations this Women’s Equality Day (August 26), we can prove to Congress that not only will our collective voice be heard during the 2012 elections, but the government needs to get back on track and focus on things that matter most to women.
