Dear Friend,
This GIVING TUESDAY, cast your support for Massachusetts women’s history! When you donate to Suffrage100MA for Giving Tuesday, it will be matched 100% – so your $25 donation will yield $50, etc!
Thanks to our generous supporters, Suffrage100MA marched ONWARD into 2022 with the suffragist spirit! We were pleased to present in-person and virtual programming throughout the year to elevate intersectional Massachusetts’ women’s voting rights history and to inspire our community to vote in the historic midterm election.
As we saw during this month’s historic Massachusetts election, YOUR VOTE HAS POWER! Women broke glass ceilings with victories in five of the six Constitutional Offices: Maura Healey, Governor – will be MA’s first elected female governor and one of the first two lesbian governors in the nation; Kim Driscoll, Lieutenant Governor; Andrea Campbell, Attorney General, will be MA’s first Black female attorney general; Deb Goldberg, Treasurer; and Diana DiZoglio, Auditor! Suffrage100MA will continue to push for increasing voting access for all Massachusetts citizens, including same day registration, which was not included in the Votes Act.
Our gratitude to our partners and friends for joining us for these uplifting programs.
For Suffrage100MA, The Work Is Not Done! YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT will help Suffrage100MA transition to become an online Massachusetts Women’s History Center (MWHC) and Massachusetts Women’s Hall of Fame! Massachusetts suffrage history will become part of a much broader virtual intersectional Massachusetts women’s history center. Your support will help us evolve into a MWHC and MA Women’s Hall of Fame with a new logo, look and website. Stay tuned!
Onward and warm wishes!

Suffrage100MA, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization is dedicated to commemorating the anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, ratified in 1920, prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying the right to vote on the basis of sex. Suffrage100MA presents activities that highlight the history of women’s rights, notably the essential contributions of women of color, whose role in the suffrage movement has been largely overlooked.
