Recognizing Our Diverse Community

Women's Equality Day is celebrated in the United States on August 26th to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. It commemorates the struggles of women to be heard, as fierce advocates who gained the statutory right to vote. Also, known as women's suffrage, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guarantees all American women the right to vote. You can learn more about this HERE.
