It’s a Man’s World … Unless Women Vote!
It’s Election Day! Women make up over half of the U.S. population, and their voices are crucial at the polls. Yet in 2014, less than half of eligible women voters reported voting. Off-year elections, including the 2015 election season, are a time when young women are even less likely to vote.
Women fought for the right to vote. It’s time to use it! Take a second to register to vote or update your record.
Happy National Voter Registration Day!

In honor of #WomensEqualityDay, here are seven amazing women of color who have helped fight for — and win — greater equality for women.
Today commemorates a historic step for women’s equality: the passage of the 19th Amendment, which secured women’s right to vote, on August 26, 1920.
Yet long after the passage of the 19th Amendment, racial discrimination continued to keep women of color from voting. Even today we continue to see passage of a variety of laws that threaten to prevent women, especially women of color, from voting.
Of course women of color haven’t remained silent in the face of these setbacks. Although they have often been the leading voices and innovators in the fight for equality, history has a tendency to erase their legacy and voices.
If these seven women teach us anything, it’s that passion and dedication pay off. We’re encouraged to continue their work; learn how you can join us in continuing the fight toward women’s equality.
Read the full blog post to learn more about these 7 inspiring women.

Make your voice heard on November 4. Go to www.aauwaction.org to verify your voter registration.
Everyone deserves the right to vote. But since the Supreme Court gutted part of the Voting Rights Act, states have started to pass discriminatory voting laws. Congress needs to fix the Supreme Court’s decision. Tell your representatives to restore the American right to vote today –> http://bit.ly/17n6DCp
