Women’s History Month

by 2 Comments

March is Women’s History Month – or as we like to call it, Women’s Herstory Month. This year, 100+ years after women won the right to vote, the ERA-NC Alliance is hopeful to finally see the ERA published as the 28th Amendment. And it took a lot of women, and men, many years to make this happen. In honor of Women’s Herstory Month, the Alliance would like to honor those N.C. women who made a difference in YOUR life – whether as an equality warrior or a teacher or an activist or even your BFF – whoever they are, you want the world to know they made a positive difference in your life. We plan to post their photos – or their names – on our Facebook, Instagram and right here on our website throughout March for a small donation. Suggested donation is $28 in honor of the 28th Amendment. Your donation will fund our efforts towards ratification in NC.
