Thanks to teacher Sandra Martinez, the AAUW Thousand Oaks chapter, and the TOHS Latino Youth Leadership Group for inviting councilmember Gutierrez and me to attend today’s session on city government and youth involvement.
Students asked really good questions about representation, mass transit, and the role of local government. Councilmember Gutierrez and I encouraged them (and everyone, really) to become more engaged in civic life.
Hello, Mastodon. I am a retired #SocialWorker who is active in #AAUW, the #AmericanAssociationOfUniversityWomen.
Equal means equal!
Waiting a century for over half of the U.S. population to attain constitutional equality is long enough. Please join me in telling Congress: not one more year! Affirm the Equal Rights Amendment today.

Did you know 1/4 of the workforce doesn't have access to paid sick days?
I know from my own experience that being able to take time off when sick reduces the spread of illness in a workplace.
Please join me and the American Association of University Women in urging Congress to support paid sick days and pass the Healthy Families Act now:

Too many American workers are forced to face the choice between a job and their health or the health of a loved one every time they get sick or a family member needs care. Urge your members of Congress to keep America's working families healthy and economically secure by supporting the Healthy Families Act today.
Not only is today Pi Day, it's also Equal Pay Day. So for all #Mathstodon fans, here's how the American Association of University Women calculates Equal Pay day and the wider cross-section of women by demographic.
