women we blogged about the history behind celebrating Women's Equality Day on August 26.
This day marks National Women's Equality Day and the 96th
anniversary of American women gaining the right to vote here in the United
States of America.
This #womensequalityday remember what our vote means and
make that vote count. The leaders we choose to represent us will determine our performance and progress. They set the tone for our nation's democratic and diplomatic efforts. Vote wisely.
Today women are voting more than men but hold political
office in much smaller numbers. While women have outstripped men in voting
booths since 1980, women still make up just about 20-25% of elected officials
at the state and federal level.
This November, stand up and be counted - exercise our right to VOTE!
