The fight for voting rights didn’t end in 1920. On Women’s Equality Day, we reflect on the work of those who fought for the 19th Amendment, especially BIPOC and gender-expansive organizers who were excluded and continued to face barriers to political participation.

Today, threats like the SAVE Act and gerrymandering in Texas and Florida show our work isn’t done. This legislation would force millions of Americans to present a passport or birth certificate to register or update their registration, documents many don’t have, and that often don’t reflect current names after marriage, divorce, or transition.

Call on Congress to vote NO, get involved locally, join political groups, support mutual aid, and help build power in your community!
