August 26, otherwise known as Women's Equality Day, marks the anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment.

Yet today, fewer rights than they'd had in decades. In August 2022, we launched our campaign for Women's Inequality Day, uniting to demand that lawmakers restore and protect our rights.

LWVUS sent a memo to the US House asking them to cosponsor H.Res. 891, a resolution to affirm the validity of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Though their work styles are vastly different, each of these women made our country a fairer, more just place. 

The League joined a letter to Members of Congress advocating for a swift passage of pay equity legislation.

Women’s Equality Day is a time to honor and acknowledge all of the women who came before us, and to use the lessons of their fights to shape a fairer, more just future.
