Today is the 103rd anniversary of the 19th amendment. While the amendment was a milestone in the fight for women's suffrage, women of color were still denied their vote. It would take decades for all women to be able to exercise their voting rights. #WomensEqualityDay

Suffragists marched, lobbied, & practiced civil disobedience in order for women to gain the right to vote. In celebration of #WomensEqualityDay, I joined the Women's Museum of California to discuss gender equality & voting rights with dynamic women from LeagueWomenVotersSD, ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties, & Lawyers Club SD.
