“Deeds, Not Words”: How militant suffragists, under Alice Paul’s leadership, finally took women’s suffrage over the finish line in 1920 after a 75-year battle. Everything was stacked against them – but their determination was underestimated. As is ours.....

The League of Women Voters was born out of resistance over 100 years ago: Resistance to a patriarchy that limited women’s role in society and government. And we’ve been part of every major resistance movement since the suffragists first boldly marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, breaking every societal convention.

This 4-part series will showcase what we can learn from the resilience and determination of past movements, and will encourage attendees to customize their own plan for supporting the democratic principles of justice and inclusion during yet another oppressive time in our nation’s history. The first session, "Deeds, Not Words," will be held on Wednesday, June 11th.
