Talk about brilliant young minds shaping the future! Ninth-grader Nia Washington has officially been awarded a patent for developing a fully biodegradable polymer made entirely from banana peel starch. She spent two years testing formulas in her school's science basement after noticing waste problems in her local community. Her creation breaks down in soil within just fourteen days compared to centuries for traditional plastics. Have you ever seen such extraordinary talent at this age?

AAUW mourns the passing of Gloria Steinem, a pioneering journalist, activist, and champion for women’s equality.
A leader in the movement for gender equity, Steinem helped advance many of the issues that remain central to AAUW’s mission today. In 2003, AAUW honored her with the AAUW Achievement Award, recognizing her lasting impact and extraordinary contributions to advancing women and girls.
We honor her remarkable legacy and remain committed to carrying the work for equality forward.

EqaliTEA was a successful event with about 50 participants, tea sandwiches and scones, and yummy desserts, some of which were donated. Councilman Adrin Nazarian, CD2, was in attendance and stayed the entire time; and Congresswoman Luis Rivas also joined us for most
of the event. Martha Wheelock, film producer and President of the National Women's History Alliance, was there to present her film, Votes for Women, a homage to the suffragists who fought the battle for the vote.

Journalist. Organizer. Activist. Feminist icon.

For more than half a century, Gloria Steinem has been one of the most influential voices in the movement for women’s equality.

She co-founded Ms. magazine, which debuted in 1971 and launched as an independent magazine in 1972, creating a groundbreaking national platform for women’s voices and issues.

Steinem also helped found the National Women’s Political Caucus and spent decades advocating for equal rights, reproductive freedom, equal pay, and greater representation of women in political and public life.

Her work helped bring issues once dismissed as “women’s issues” into the national conversation—and inspired generations of women to speak up, organize, and demand change.

At 92, Gloria Steinem reminds us that there is no expiration date on standing up for equality.

Badass then. Badass now.
