Today marks the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote 104 years ago. However, the Amendment still left out black, brown, indigenous, and many other groups of women.? As we celebrate the strides made by so many dedicated advocates of the past, let us continue their efforts to champion equitable rights for women and girls of all identities.
