Calling all women and supporting men! Plan to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the 19th Amendment with other women in Missoula on October
24, 2020. We celebrate knowing full well that this amendment was only the
beginning of a struggle for justice for women that is still ongoing. Our
BIPOC sisters were not included 100 years ago and we stand today in the
hopes that 100 years from now they will know full justice. Let’s honor the
women who fought for our rights and all those who have safeguarded them
over the years, including the memory of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. The Jeannette
Rankin Peace Center and the League of Women voters are asking you to wear
white in honor of the suffragettes (and maybe a little yellow and purple
trim!). Bring your ballot to the election office on Russell St in person
Saturday, October 24 between 9 am and 1 pm. You can either drop it off in
the box located in the election office or use the convenient drive by box.
Please plan to wear a mask and keep a safe 6 feet apart from others. We
would love to have women safely lining Russell St for the duration of those
4 hours so if you would like to sign up for a shift, contact us at
peace at jrpc.org. Please do not bring or wear any partisan political signs or
buttons, etc. These are not allowed on election property, and we want this
to be a celebration of our progress rather than a continuation of political
divisions. There will be suffrage centennial buttons for the first 150
women, information about the Equal Rights Amendment and more. Our votes
could not be more important this year. So before you mail that ballot in,
plan to be part of this visual celebration of the impact women make when
they vote.
