This year marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the United States. As we have seen over the past century and in even in recent months, many battles have been and remain to be fought to guarantee full and equitable access to the ballot. Women showed heroism and courage fighting in the front lines for suffrage a century ago, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color have continued to lead the fight since that time to gain equitable voting rights for all. Their actions serve as an example for what must still be done to secure voting rights.
In collaboration with the Oregon Historical Society and in honor of this important anniversary, the Oregon Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to share with you a series of podcasts focused on the historical and ongoing fight for the universal and meaningful right to vote. Featured speakers include community leaders, voting rights activists, students and legal scholars. We hope this series, which we have entitled “Voting Now: Turning Rights Into Reality,” educates you about the history of discrimination in voting and inspires you to join the list of heroes who have fought and continue to fight for this critical pillar of our democracy.
