Description

Reconnect with old friends, meet new and prospective members, enjoy light refreshments and celebrate AAUW programs like Knowledge Bowl, Tech Trek, Speech Trek, Women in History, and more! Meet our CSUCI Scholarship Awardees and learn what we have planned for the year ahead and how you can get involved in promoting gender equity for women and girls. Our Keynote Speaker is Christian Alonso, Director of Public Affairs for Planned Parenthood of California’s Central Coast. Christian will talk about the impact of the Dobbs v. Jackson SCOTUS decision on women’s rights and what we can do to ensure women have the right to make their own healthcare choices. He will give us insight into California’s constitutional amendment to enshrine a pregnant person’s right to abortion, which will be on the ballot in November. From AAUW’s Statement Condemning the SCOTUS ruling: “Being able to choose whether and when to become a parent improves women’s well-being and fosters economic security – a crucial component of AAUW’s mission. This is particularly important in a country that lacks accessible maternal health care, paid caregiving leave, and workplace protections for pregnant workers.”
