Since then, women have been a large force in the political landscape as public servants, voters, and activists. In 2020, we are seeing more women run for political office than ever before, and take on new political roles (such as a Vice Presidential Candidate for the first time ever). So what can we as women do in our communities to continue the legacy of the suffragists? Join us as we make civic engagement tangible and discover your worth in our community.
