Of the right to vote for women (white women) being able to vote in the USA.
I want to celebrate, but can't really do what I had planned because of covid. (I was going to visit Seneca Falls.)
Help me think of something to do that I can do at home.

How about a donation to the League of Women Voters?
Or call your Local party to see how you can volunteer to get people to vote?
A donation to another group that encourages voting?

How about reach out to your friends/family/neighbor women and make sure they are registered to vote? You can register online.

In my state you can pre register at 17 now! So maybe see if that is the case in your state and help get the work out to young voters?

While not a celebration there are two great movies about the women's suffrage movement that I think are important to see, and now would be a great time to watch them. 'Iron Jawed Angels" covers the movement in the USA, and "Suffragette" covers the movement in England. "Iron Jawed Angels" is currently playing on HBO for free, and "Suffragette" is on Netflix for free and on Amazon Prime for a fee.

I'm troubled by this wording. While it's absolutely true many black women were continued to be disenfranchised in way too many states with Jim Crow laws - the 19th amendment was NOT race specific. It invalidated laws based on sex - for all - not just white women. Many, many black women voted after the passage of the 19th amendment. Unfortunately the fight to end racial discrimination laws for both men and women in some states continued for 50+ years. ETA this article does a good job of describing both myths - that all women could vote and that no black women could vote in connection with the 19th amendment: www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/08/black-women-continued-fighting-for-vote-after-19th-amendment/#close |

Just for your information:
Women in Utah were allowed to vote in 1870. Only Wyoming granted suffrage before Utah did. Utah's election came first, so Utah women voted before Wyoming women.
I'm grateful for the right to vote!
