Aug 26 is Women’s Equality Day - a nationally recognized day to commemorate the passage and enactment of the 19th Amendment and to remember the fight for and importance of universal suffrage. The day invites us to celebrate the 19th Amendment and to reflect on the activism of generations before us, to advance suffrage and voting rights, and keep working toward Equal Rights for All.
That’s why we’re celebrating Women’s Equality Day from Aug. 23-30 - ALL WEEK LONG! We want YOU to celebrate with us by hosting your own event!

Visit mainewomen.org/era-for-all and sign up to join the ERA for All movement!
What you specifically do isn’t as important as getting together to think about a future where equal rights are truly for ALL. For a full list of ideas and ways to get involved, check out our guide to Women’s Equality Day.
