Today marks the 103rd anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment: The landmark amendment which extended suffrage to women across the country. However, 103 years later, we still find ourselves pushing for equal representation and fighting for women to have a seat at the table – especially within the marginalized communities for whom enfranchisement didn't come for decades after the 19th Amendment. Even in the 118th Congress – where a record-breaking number of women are serving – women only comprise 28% of the members. It’s past time for change. And with women’s fundamental freedoms under attack, it’s never been more important to elect and re-elect female trailblazers, like Andrea, to Congress. That’s why we have to ask: Will you sign our pledge to elect more Democratic women and fight for equal representation? →
We still have a long way to go before Congress will be representative of the diversity of genders, ethnicities, religions, backgrounds, and ideas present among the American people. So today, as we celebrate and reflect on the 19th Amendment, we hope you’ll recommit yourself to the fight for equal representation and equitable voting rights for all. – Team Salinas |
