Suffrage Centennials

NEW ERA COALITION MEMBERS WHO HAVE SIGNED ON DURING MAY 2023

We signed onto the ERA Coalition. If there’s a suffrage centennial observance we are thrilled to support, it’s getting an equal rights amendment passed to the US Constitution.

Why are we so persistent? Because we need all hands on deck to address the issues facing Planet Earth. Have you read about the efforts underway to keep women from attending school in the Middle East? Or the state legislation controlling women, our values, and our decisions in the US?

SOME THOUGHTS I AM HAVING, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS

Sure, we want to be liked. We want to be honored for our attention to detail and our decision-making abilities. We do the best we can. And we are tired of being taken advantage of merely because we are “girls.”

We have looked carefully at ourselves and others. This means that we will please some and anger others.

Get used to it.

AND sign the petition in support of an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution.

Ask your organization to support an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution!

POLARIZATION IS THE NAME OF THE GAME

We live in polarizing times.

Everyone is capable of change. We need all hands on deck—especially those who are professional, the unifiers who carry on for the benefit of all women. Those carrying on the work look at all aspects of the complicated issues. They listen. They respect others. They may point out how the volunteers of previous generations did the best they could. They work on common ground. They realize that this is a long-term struggle carried forward in a very hostile environment.

Are you professional in your interactions with others?

Sign the petition that’s being circulated by students at Hunter College. We’re moving along and choosing nonviolence to reach our goals.

And support the New York State Museum in placing onto permanent exhibition the “Spirit of 1776” suffrage campaign wagon used by grassroots activists Edna Kearns and others who worked for decades to win the right of US women to vote.

We have been determined to win an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution for 100 years.

We aren’t going away. The effort has come a long way, baby. And we have a long way to go.

Thank you to the team that’s carrying on this struggle. We stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. My work has been focused on passing the torch.

We’re not only pushing for an equal rights amendment, but we’re supporting the New York State Museum in placing the “Spirit of 1776” suffrage campaign wagon used by Edna Kearns and others in New York City and Long Island on permanent exhibition.

It doesn’t matter where you live. It’s your tender loving care we love. How about it?

This is an effort that we, here are SuffrageCentennials.com have known about and supported for a LONG time. The preparation for permanent exhibition is underway and on the horizon. If you were asked to participate and the request was added to a tall pile of things to do, now is the time for action.

SPRING CLEANING! Translate your good intentions to action!

Many organizations are pushing for an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution. Here is an example. The Brennan Center is one of hundreds of organizati0ns in this category.

Have your representatives in the US Congress signed on as sponsors? I have sent notes asking this question. Have you?

Support the ongoing work to add equal rights to the US Constitution. In 2023, we’re marking the centennial of US women working to make this happen. Will we have to do this for another 100 years?

We’ve been out in the “field” working to bring in more support for an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution during 2023.

WHAT ARE WE DOING THESE DAYS?

We’re working on legislative action in our respective districts. The legal analysis continues in the national ERA Coalition office. And we’re spreading our support messages in the media.

Zoe Nicholson is available to speak about Alice Paul and Zoe’s own support of an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution. Think about inviting her to your next organizational meeting.

SuffrageCentennials.com is publishing on an erratic schedule during 2023. We haven’t forgotten the importance of August 26th each year. It’s Women’s Equality Day, and the day commemorates the generations of women who have bridged differences and joined together to address the condition of the planet and those who live on it.

We’re persisting during this 100th year of 2023 to move an equal rights amendment through the US Congress.

It’s the 100th year anniversary of US women working for an amendment to the US Constitution. And we’re committed to expanding equality guarantees, not limiting the rights of women to speak their truth and be in charge of the big decisions impacting their lives.

There are 280+ partners in the national ERA coalition. Spread the word.

THE VOLUNTEERS WORKING FOR SUFFRAGECENTENNIALS.COM ARE EXHAUSTED

suffragecentennials.com supports adding an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution that guarantees equal rights in the US Constitution regardless of sex. We stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. And a torch has been passed to others who are carrying on the work now and in the future. We are facing an enormous challenge. It appears as if the 100-year anniversary will come and go without a peep unless we add to the ERA support.

A BIG QUESTION FOR US ALL TO FACE

Will the United States be successful in passing an amendment to the US Constitution? Maybe. We encourage our everyone to honor the activism and sacrifices of those who have come before us, receive the equality torch, and carry on the support work.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE PHRASE “WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY”

We have accomplished a great deal. If the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment hadn’t been successful, there wouldn’t have been as much recognition today of the enormous accomplishment of US women standing up for our rights. In 2023, however, it will have been 100 years since US women will have been working on an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THE EQUALITY OUTCOME IS UP TO US?

It’s up to present-day generations of women to address this question and honor those who have come before us. We have been working for 100 years for an amendment to the US Constitution guaranteeing equal rights. This unfinished business must be addressed.
