Welcome to the AAUW Vienna Area Branch

Join us for our annual Open House! You will learn about our active AAUW branch and meet some of our enthusiastic members. Leaders from each of our interest groups will be present with displays about their groups and will describe their activities for the new program year.

Come also for conversation about the mission of AAUW and the ways our branch supports that mission. We offer discounted dues for those who join at the Open House and are new to AAUW or whose membership lapsed at least two years ago.

If you can’t make it to the Open House, browse our website to learn more about us. We hope to see you on September 6!

Branch Members Write Postcards to Get Out the Vote

Voters in Virginia will elect state-wide officers in early November, including Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General.  With that in mind, we had a very successful and fun postcard-writing party on August 12th at which 12 Vienna branch members addressed and wrote 219 postcards to help get out the vote this fall.

In conjunction with Virginia AAUW, we received the addresses and script from the Reclaim Our Vote campaign of the nonpartisan Center for Common Ground. The script reminded registered voters to vote and urged them to think about issues such as healthcare, education, and civil rights.

Altogether our branch will send out 300 postcards in September, and Virginia AAUW will send thousands!

Vienna AAUW Branch Participated in

Town of Vienna’s Liberty Amendments Parade
June 14, 2025

The Town of Vienna celebrates the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th Constitutional Amendments once again this year with a full schedule of activities under the umbrella of “Liberty Amendments Month.”

The Vienna Branch of AAUW participated in this year’s kick-off event, which was a parade down Maple Avenue on June 14, 2025. Our float featured branch members dressed as suffragettes to commemorate the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. Joining us was a large replica of the Statute of Liberty.

Then in the Vienna Community Center on July 4, 2025, branch members joined others in the community for a reading of our nation’s foundational documents. Participants read portions of our democracy’s documents in a round-robin style to reflect on the legal framework penned by our Founding Fathers.

Note: Liberty Amendments Month is presented by the Town of Vienna in partnership with other governmental organizations and non-profit groups.
