Election Day Countdown — Call to Action

Election Day is almost here. It’s not too late to use social media to Get Out the Vote. The AAUW Action Fund’s social media toolkit has content and hashtags you can use to post from now until November 3. Branches and members are also asked to amplify the posts made via the AAUW Florida social media platforms.

Thank you for the work that you have done so far during these difficult times. We have had to be  innovative, flexible, and focused in our efforts due to COVID-19. As usual, AAUW women have  stepped up to the challenge!
