Dear Friends and Neighbors,

On August 26th we celebrate “Women’s Equality Day” designated by the U.S. Congress in 1973. Women’s Equality Day commemorates the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 which granted women the right to vote, and reminds us of the courageous efforts of the Women’s Suffrage Movement.

Over 100 years later, we are still fighting for equality. We are proud to be leading the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment to the New York State Constitution. In two consecutive sessions, we successfully obtained the required passage to make this ballot referendum a reality. The Equal Rights Amendment is heading to New York State Voters this November!

Check on your voter registration and encourage friends and neighbors to do the same. New registration and change in registration can be filed with the board of elections by October 26 to be eligible to vote in the General Election on Tuesday, November 5. Consider signing up to be a poll worker to help ensure that everyone's vote counts. More information here.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to our community office if we can be of assistance.
