Today, we commemorate Women’s Equality Day, a pivotal moment in history that reminds us of the ongoing fight for gender equality. On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified, granting white women the right to vote — Black women and women of color would secure the right to vote in the 1965 Voting Rights Act. While this amendment was a monumental victory, it was just the beginning. The fight for equality has continued over the decades, with women advocating for equal pay, reproductive rights, and protection against discrimination. In our latest blog, read the history of Women’s Equality Day and understand how through empowerment — on a personal, community, and national policy level — is key in the fight for true equality for all women.
