AAUW-NM supports the Association Public Policy Program. We support constitutional protection for the rights of all individuals, reproductive rights, separation of church and state, social security that is fair to women and opposition to the use of public funds for nonpublic elementary and secondary education.
AAUW-NM supports the issue of "Equity in Education for Women and Girls," academic freedom, protection from censorship, and the Association position in favor of diversity.
AAUW-NM works with other organizations in support of AAUW objectives.
AAUW-NM continues to support the NM State Equal Rights Amendment. Any attempt to revoke or change that NM Constitutional Amendment will become priority for action. We believe in policies that promote justice and human rights and we recognize the need for a clean and healthful environment in an interdependent world.
