The DIVERITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION or DEI subgroup of the Fallbrook AAUW started in 2020 as a pilot upon the request of our national leadership in Washington DC. After one year of meeting once a month, the plan was to do five things:
1. Have each member share their heritage in detail.
2. Study the seven social “isms” based on the Anti-Bias teaching curriculum.
3. Visit various places in our local community that showcase diversity.
4. Invite guests from various ethnic and social backgrounds to our meetings.
5. Do Action Projects to promote diversity to our membership and community.

Now in 2024, we have twelve active members, have gone on numerous field trips, as a team we gave a presentation at one of our general meetings, and promoted a diverse influence in our total membership. This group is determined to uphold the values of our founding Suffragettes to not only promote equal rights for women but equal rights for everyone. There is more work to do!
