From Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez Desk – 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment — the amendment that guarantees and protects a woman’s right to vote.
Why was it important for women to vote?
When we vote, we help shape the policies that effect our lives, our futures, and our communities. Our vote is an expression of what we value and it is a powerful tool for change.
On #WomensEqualityDay, we celebrate the progress that the fearless #suffragettes and their allies have made so that women and girls everywhere have a fair share, fair go, and fair say.
