AAUW is an organization that works for equality for women and girls through advocacy, research, education and philanthropy. Learn more - and Join Us!

We have had an active branch in Puerto Rico for over 40 years! http://sanjuan-pr.aauw.net Puerto Rico AAUW seeks to promote equity for women and girls in Puerto Rico. We have a single branch at this time, San Juan AAUW. Locally, we raise money for education opportunities for women, including scholarships, fellowships and grants. We will assist community members, individual or organizations, in the application process for these funds. In 2013-14, we were given a Community Action Grant by AAUW National. We used this money to do a pilot project: A series of therapeutic writing workshops for survivors of domestic violence still living in shelters. Continuing and expanding this project is one of our goals for our fundraising. Also in 2013-14, we raised money to send three young Puerto Rican women to the National Conference for Women Student Leaders in June of 2014. Fundraising is on-going to do the same thing in 2015. Our local branch conducts workshops for middle school and high school girls every year on career choices, introducing them to women in here in there field who can act as mentors and role-models. We also hold monthly meetings on topics of interest to our members. Recent examples are Human Trafficking in Puerto Rico, Women Artists represented in the Puerto Rico Art Museum, Women's Health - Half the Sky, pay equity, violence against women, etc. All of our meetings are free and open to the public. In fact, we encourage anyone interested to join our mailing list to get notifications of meetings and other events. Knowing that there are many, many topics and projects we could tackle in Puerto Rico, we are eagerly recruiting new members to the organization. AAUW National conducts important research on issues like pay inequity, harassment of girls in schools, street harassment, women in the STEM fields. Our local organization works to bring this research into the public debate in Puerto Rico.

A person finds meaning in one of three ways:

• Performing an action that distracts them from the pain and makes them feel fulfilled
• Experiencing something meaningful/interacting with someone whose company they enjoy
• Developing a positive attitude toward unavoidable suffering

BREAKING: The Pentagon summoned Pope Leo’s top diplomat and threatened him — and now the Pope is refusing to set foot in America.

This is not diplomacy. This is a mob shakedown.

New reporting reveals that Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby called Cardinal Christophe Pierre into the Pentagon and told him the United States has the military power to do “whatever it wants” — and that Pope Leo “better take its side.”

They even invoked the Avignon Papacy. That’s when the French Crown used military force to control the Pope in the 1300s. They used that as a threat. To the Vatican. In 2026.

Let that sink in. The Trump administration just compared itself to a medieval monarchy that militarily subjugated the Catholic Church — and meant it as a warning.

Why? Because Pope Leo gave a speech saying war was wrong. That diplomacy based on force was replacing real dialogue. That’s it. That’s the crime.

And the Pope’s response? He cancelled his US visit entirely.

The first American-born Pope in history was invited to celebrate America’s 250th birthday at the White House. Instead, on July 4th, he will be on a tiny Mediterranean island welcoming African refugees.

He didn’t storm off. He didn’t tweet. He just quietly chose migrants over a photo op with Trump. Let that image sit with you.

One Vatican official put it plainly: “The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration.”

Trump’s team has now picked a fight with the Pope. The actual Pope. Because he said war is bad.

These people have lost the plot completely.

Like and Share if you support the Pope standing up to Trump.
