Dear Supporter,

Today we celebrate the 91st anniversary of the 19th amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote. Since 1920, women voters have been a major influence in American politics and in making our society safer and more secure for families and children.

While women have made enormous strides, our leaders are making decisions that erode much of the work of several generations of women voters. From taxes to health care to access to voting and education, many of the protections that we fought for and have come to depend on are currently at risk.

Many of the issues confronting our country today have the greatest impact on women and children. But many more women need to exercise their right to vote. And still more should seek and win elected office.

In honor of Women’s Equality day, encourage someone you know - man or woman – to register to vote.

We have much to be proud of and much to celebrate this Women’s Equality Day, but as we look ahead, let’s do more than dream of what we can achieve, let’s work to accomplish it.

Best wishes, 

Elisabeth MacNamara
President, LWVUS
