This Aug. 26 marks the 90th anniversary of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote. The nonpartisan League of Women Voters -- founded the same year women achieved this right -- celebrates Women's Equality Day by remembering this historic achievement.
"On this Women's Equality Day, we take time to recognize not only the historic 19th Amendment, but the tremendous progress we've made over the last 90 years in expanding and protecting voting rights," said national League president Mary G. Wilson.
The League of Women Voters of Hudson has worked for 71 years to safeguard democracy through expanded civic engagement. As a League member, you have the opportunity to have a profound, direct and positive impact on the issues that matter most to our community, and what better day than the anniversary of the 19th Amendment to get involved?
To learn more about the Hudson League, please join us Sept. 23 for a Know Your League Open House at Laurel Lake Retirement Community starting at 7 p.m.
Belinda Wing
LWV Hudson President
