Today, on Women’s Equality Day, I was honored to be present for the unveiling of the first statue in Central Park of real, non-fictional women. (No offense to A...lice in Wonderland or Mother Goose.) Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked side by side to win the vote for women. And 100 years ago last week, Tennessee became the last state needed to ratify the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. It was the culmination of a decades-long struggle. Though the passage of the 19th Amendment was an important victory, it was also an incomplete one. It would take decades longer to guarantee the franchise for women of color, especially Black and Native women. A century later, the work continues. We’re still fighting so that every eligible American can cast their ballot and know their vote will be counted regardless of race, age, or geography. It's a battle worth fighting, and one we have to win. As Sojourner, Susan, and Elizabeth understood, our democracy belongs to all of us. And we've got to do everything we can to protect it not just for ourselves, but for the generations that follow us. Susan B. Anthony's famous decree has never felt more apt: Failure is impossible! #WomensEqualityDay
