August 26th is Still Women’s Equality Day in the United States!

Suffrage centennials didn’t come about by accident! on Vimeo.

The 2017 suffrage centennial celebration at the New York State Museum was magnificent. The completion of the draft of the equal rights amendment to the US Constitution was in 1923. This means another VERY important centennial ahead of us. We reach the 100th anniversary of US women busy on this task in 2023.

And we’re reaching the end of our patience here at SuffrageCentennials.com. Those volunteers who fainted at the computer met the deadline so that we can continue a little longer while waiting to hear about the results of the grant application recently submitted. We’ll never forget the accomplishments and sweet victories of the past decade when we were optimistic and our eyes were filled with delight during moments when we published regularly about the future ahead.

We’re partners in the ERA Coalition. Watch for our posts on SuffrageCentennials.com or go directly and sign up there: https://www.eracoalition.org

Continue to relive these moments by watching the videos associated with these times on Vimeo:

One of many accomplishments of the past decade was the publication from SUNY Press (State University of New York) of the book, An Unfinished Revolution: Edna Buckman Kearns and the Struggle for Women’s Rights.

The Passing of the Torch…to the future!

SEND US YOUR PHOTOS OF ERA SUPPORT WORK!

When you have an event, send us your photos that can be posted on the national ERA Coalition site.

After a year of publishing on an irregular schedule, I am passing the torch to the future. Just as my parents and ancestors passed the torch to me, I am passing it on. In the time allotted to me, I accomplished a great deal, and now it is time for a new generation to carry on.

COMMENTS FROM Marguerite Kearns

Last week I experienced “a beloved community.” It felt wonderful, and there was an acceptance of everyone for who they are and what they bring to a larger community. These are shifts based on horizontal values stuffed into a vertical structure. I’d like to think that this is different than what I thought and believed decades ago.

And the door is opening to SuffrageCentennials.com completing its grassroots mission.

The Kingian nonviolenee training is terrific. But don’t sign up before y9u give it serious thought.

Social Media Toolkit – Dobbs Anniversary Decision 

The Supreme Court has shown a limited and regressive view of the rights conferred by our Constitution, and the Dobbs decision reaffirms why we need the Equal Rights Amendment. 2023 marks the centennial anniversary of the introduction of the ERA, and it’s clear that opponents of equality in Congress will continue to manipulate the government to further the second-class status of women and gender/sexual minorities in America. This is an announcement from the ERA coalition. We’re members. Are you?

Edna B. Kearns is ready for the next “smile and dial.”
