League of Women Voters Event
We will pay homage to the suffragists who played a pivotal role in the ratification of the 19th Amendment, as well as in the creation of the League of Women Voters. While we can celebrate 105 years of women having the vote, we will look forward to the work that remains to create a more perfect democracy for ALL people.
