American Association of University Women, Redlands Branch
Founded in 1947, the Redlands Branch of AAUW is dedicated to advancing equity for women and girls through education, empowerment, and advocacy.
We host monthly AAUW branch meetings to enjoy a meal, fellowship, and interesting programs at the University of Redlands. Come as a guest to learn about membership. Our Branch Meeting features a program on the role of school board members on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
Get inspired at this screening of the film Breakaway Femmes before its general release in the U.S and meet one of the stars of the film, Patty Peoples. For six glorious years during the 1980s, a women’s Tour de France was held alongside the men’s race… their story is finally being told in this film. Learn more & order tickets to Breakaway Femmes online, or buy tickets at a branch meeting for $20/$15 student.

A Message from the Co-Presidents: Kathryn Brown & Amy Bisek
It is a new year, filled with new possibilities. AAUW Redlands creates new possibilities for our scholarship recipients and for young students discovering new careers. We also enable our members to create new friendships, new hobbies, new avenues to make use of their intellects and skills on branch projects and to discover new strengths and opportunities for affirmation and success. We encourage you to take a moment and consider how participating in a new AAUW activity could go far to invigorate your life.
It’s not too late to apply our collective effort toward thwarting harmful changes in how our government is operating. In November, our administration escalated its efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education (ED), including deep staff cuts and announcing six “partnerships” that shift the day-to-day work of key education programs, outsourcing its core expertise across other federal agencies. This is despite Congress having originally created ED to centralize federal education expertise and protect students’ civil rights.
What can you do? You could start by reviewing the article in this newsletter about the upcoming January 31st online virtual symposium Defending the Frontline of Democracy. Register and attend to learn support tactics. Inform yourself to defend democracy on the front lines. And invite your friends to attend this webinar, too, as AAUW membership is not required to participate. Don’t be timid. You’re sure to learn something new.
In 2026, we invite you to bring something new into your world. AAUW Redlands offers a wealth of options to investigate. Your efforts may help you feel newly alive.
