Today is Women’s Equality Day, marking 104 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment granted American women* the right to vote! Since then, we’ve seen women become the largest group of registered voters in the country and take on 30% of elected offices nationwide. But at She Should Run, we’re not resting on our laurels–we want to see full equality in political representation! Donate to our mission now to help us make it happen: https://lnkd.in/eciN69T6 *While the 19th Amendment technically granted all American women the right to vote, women of color only started to gain the right to vote in the 1940s. 🖼️: Library of Congress #WomensEqualityDay
