On this #WomensEqualityDay, we're proud to be joined by some incredible EMILY's List women for a conversation about the importance of women in politics, voting, and fighting back against voter suppression.

Let's get started! #ELVotes

𝗤𝟭: It’s been 100 years since the 19th amendment was adopted — meaning it’s been 100 years since many women were able to vote for the first time. What does this day mean to you? #ELVotes

𝗤𝟮: What has voting meant to you and your family? #ELVotes

𝗤𝟯: How has the fight for women’s suffrage, women’s rights, and women’s representation inspired you to run for office? #ELVotes

𝗤𝟰: While we celebrate the passage of the 19th Amendment, we also recognize that the 19th Amendment did not grant all women the right to vote. How are you fighting to ensure that ALL WOMEN are able to cast their votes in November and in the future? #ELVotes

𝗤𝟱: What can folks across the country do to fight back against the blatant voter suppression happening today? #ELVotes

𝗤𝟲: How will you support/ continue to support women’s rights and women’s representation when you’re elected? #ELVotes

𝗤𝟳: What progress for women’s rights and women’s representation do you hope to see in the next 100 years? #ELVotes

We're so thankful for @DebbieforFL, @hiral4congress, @wendydavis, @Michelle4Kansas, @xjelliott, @BetsyforIL, @GreenfieldIowa, @SaraGideon, and @ngoroff for joining us!
