The musical Suffs tells the story of several suffragettes fighting for women’s right to vote. At the turn of the century, women were being brutalized, jailed, on hunger strikes, and even died in the fight to pass the Nineteenth Amendment. Alice Paul, one of the movement’s leaders, spent 20 years leading the National Woman’s Party, working to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
TODAY is the day you can make their sacrifices worth it. Posting on social media, venting to others, or even holding up a sign at a rally or two is not enough. It’s all about the vote.
