Where my girls at?! Friday, August 26, 2022, is Women's Equality Day—a day of celebrating women of all shapes, sizes, races, ethnicities and backgrounds, just how far we have come, and looking ahead at all the important justice work there is left to do.
First recognized in 1973 by U.S. Congress at the effortless campaigning of Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY), August 26 commemorates the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment, which finally granted women the right to vote. Now, so many years later, we're still celebrating the women in our lives on this very special day, all while acknowledging the work that still needs to be done in order to achieve true equality.
