- Become a 2-Minute Activist (2-MAct). A 2-MAct leads a very busy life but still wants to contribute to their community. AAUW Twin Rivers Branch is following a few bills: The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA); The Fairness Pay Act; and Internet Access for All. When one of our bills is on the floor for legislative vote, that’s when you will take action. We will inform you to vote Yay or Nay for that bill and you will then call or email your congressman to urge them to vote your wishes. To become a 2-MAct, simply email us and say you wish to be added to our 2-MAct listing. See Contact us to send us an email.
- The yearly Jill Shelley Memorial Scholarship is presented to a non-traditional female at Craven Community College toward her books/tuition.
