The first woman reporter on the Moon! VIDEO on Vimeo.

While the men of the United States scored victories in 2020 relative to keeping women in their place, the women reporters at Suffrage Wagon News Channel had their own blast off this week. The first woman reporter on the moon has now set up news bureau headquarters with a feature headline that in the larger universe, women are highly honored, unlike on Planet Earth.

FIRST WOMAN REPORTER ON THE MOON TO CROWD OUT ALL OTHER NEWS

The May 2020 accomplishment of the United States to shoot two men into space has been duly noted. However, the newsworthy universal headline award went to the first woman reporter on the moon. She represents the women of Planet Earth.

Many representatives of these earthly beings have been voting for 100 years, and yet white old men are still chosen and promoted by their respective political parties to represent them in the White House.

100 YEARS IS BASIC REQUIREMENT FINALLY MET BY WOMEN TO JUSTIFY FAIRNESS

These persistent and determined earthly women in the United States have been marching for over 100 years for justice and freedom within their imperfect social and political system.

In 2023, this web site will highlight a sixty-part public broadcasting documentary series about the 100 years since US women have been attempting to include equal rights and justice into the US Constitution.

EXPANSION AND STOCK OPTIONS EXPECTED TO KEEP EARTH WOMEN CONTENT

Since the response to the May 2020 men’s blastoff to outer space has been mixed, the first women reporters on the moon will issue and circulate a special report. It is possible their current news bureau building will be remodeled and expanded between now and 2023 in order to host the next suffrage centennial celebration in 2023—to honor 100 years since US women have been attempting to include equal rights relative to gender in the US Constitution.

Ten US corporations have submitted bids to sell tickets linking Planet Earth to the women’s moon headquarters. The stock for moon tourism transportation is expected to go through the roof over the next five years.

NO WOMAN’S ACTIVIST OF ANY AGE OR BACKGROUND TO BE LEFT BEHIND

Stay tuned. Continue watching this web platform, SuffrageCentennials.com, that has been publishing special programming about US women and their Swiss cheese civil, personal, and political rights since 2013.

Alfred University’s Art Force 5 ‘s Women’s Empowerment Draft, was highlighted on the NFL Network during May. It highlighted the lives of 32 women who have contributed to the women’s rights movement in the United States. The event marks this year’s 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment. A portrait of each woman will adorn an NFL-style jersey, and the jerseys will be worn by 32 college students from across the nation.

Here at SuffrageCentennials.com continue with the news of the women’s suffrage centennial. This is the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution and women’s voting rights.

Here’s a web site that’s promoting the 2020 suffrage centennial:

Visit SuffrageCentennials.com. We have been publishing since 2013.

Suffrage Wagon News Channel is our sister site bringing you news of the “Spirit of 1776” suffrage campaign wagon used by Edna Kearns in 1913.

We’re busy planning a special season of videos that are related to the times. One example is the series that my friend Jonathan Geffner has been running in 2020. It’s not about the 100 years US women have been voting. However, Suffrage Wagon News Channel has a long history with Jonathan. He has helped with special coverage of Edna and Wilmer Kearns, my grandparents, in the past.

“THE TOILET PAPER CAPER” COMES TO TOWN

This is an example of what he’s doing now. “The Toilet Paper Caper” has a current angle, and we’re planning to feature Jonathan’s Series #1 of detectives Trillo & Suede. This video is a teaser. Will return when we have more information.

BRAVO TO POMEROY FOUNDATION FOR SUFFRAGE COMMUNITY HISTORIC MARKERS

Part of the 2020 suffrage celebration is the story of how the Pomeroy Fioundation of upstate New York has been busy working with communities and non profits to erect historic street and property markers across the nation. Thank you, Pomeroy.

Jonathan Geffner says Wilmer Kearns has a challenge on his hands! on Vimeo.

We love to feature friends of Suffrage Wagon News Channel. Jonathan Geffner did this promo for Wilmer Kearns and Suffrage Wagon News Channel one holiday season. He’s looking forward to the upcoming book by Marguerite Kearns when she reveals the background of the tale of Edna and Wilmer Kearns and the early women’s rights movement. Stay tuned!

Overview: 

• The United States Parachute Association (USPA) reports there are 35,000 active U.S. skydivers, but only 13% are females. Women are underrepresented. There is a need for more women instructors, role models and mentors. The WSN hopes to inspire that growth.
• Founded by Christy Frikken and JaNette Lefkowitz in 2016, two professional skydivers who developed the network as a community resource for all female skydivers.
• The WSN provides female skydivers – of all experience levels from beginners to World Champions – with resources, training, networking, and fellowship.
• Women from all over the world are welcome into the free global network of women who actively look to the WSN -and each other- for training, resources and community support in everything related to skydiving.

The 2020 initiatives:

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution securing women’s right to vote, the WSN tapped top professional female skydivers to develop two initiatives to celebrate the milestone.

1. Highlight Pro Skydiving Team – Comprised of 11 female skydivers doing demonstration jumps across the country.
2. Project 19 – 100+ women from across the globe training to secure a skydiving Women’s Vertical World Record.

 TO: Friends celebrating the women’s suffrage centennial

FROM: Robert Cooney

We hope all of you are well. In addition to the other worries related to the COVID virus, it’s likely that you are discouraged that your long planned activities to celebrate the suffrage centennial have not or may not come to pass. This is a big disappointment for us all.

AN APPEAL LETTER TO THOSE WHO MAY BE DISCOURAGED ABOUT 2020

However, we are committed to recognizing the women’s suffrage centennial despite the challenges we face. While there is every reason to feel discouraged, we can embrace the behavior of the women we celebrate – and adapt and persevere!

DO WHAT YOU CAN TO EXTEND THE SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL. . . 

After consulting with many of you around the country, we believe it’s important to encourage the extension of the suffrage centennial through 2021. Many groups, individuals and institutions are already making plans. With this larger timeline in mind, we can continue throughout 2020 as much as possible, and then use 2021 to make up for the dislocation caused by the virus and even create new tributes. We can’t let the virus overwhelm recognition of women’s historic breakthrough. We can reclaim and make the most of the lost time.

We all hope and plan for events and exhibits to reopen relatively soon. But regardless, since the 100th anniversary year lasts until August 26, 2021, we suggest that organizations begin now to consider and plan for a clear and deliberate extension of centennial-related commemorations into 2021. The sooner we let partners, institutions and the media know the better. We realize that some groups will not want to or be able to do this, but we anticipate that many will.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER ON THIS!

Our two organizations will continue to share useful resources and information about how our community is coping and planning for the future. Please keep us updated on your activity. We appreciate your news, ideas, feedback and cooperation.

SO MANY CENTENNIAL RESOURCES ONLINE

In the meantime, there are countless centennial resources to take advantage of online. The NWHA’s “Women Win the Vote” Gazette has hundreds of links plus state and national news. Download it from http://www.nwha1980.org. Also point people to http://www.2020Centennial.org, where they can learn more.

We are very grateful that the Rose Parade Float and so many suffrage centennial events took place during the first few months of 2020. And we know that, after this challenge passes, great opportunities lie ahead.

Onward with each other,

National Women’s History Alliance and the
2020 Women’s Vote Centennial Initiative
