At 7 pm, we will join in the national “Toast to Tenacity” honoring the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. All participants are encouraged to join in with a glass of grape juice or their favorite beverage.

After the toast, Ms. Crump will lead a discussion and Q&A about the significance of race in the suffragist movement and ways of working across racial identities in current organizing.
