About Suffrage100MA

Suffrage100MA is dedicated to commemorating the upcoming 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1920, prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote on the basis of sex.

Suffrage100MA presents events and activities that highlight the history of the women’s suffrage movement and women’s rights.

Suffrage100MA is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization that partners and collaborates with many organizations in Massachusetts and throughout the country that are also planning events to recognize this historic occasion.

Mission

Commemorate the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women suffrage.

Goals

  • Increase voter participation by motivating voters to appreciate and exercise the right to vote;
  • Provide educational opportunities for all ages to learn the inspiring and dramatic history of women’s suffrage;
  • Engage arts and cultural organizations to use this centennial as a catalyst for creative program planning;
  • Recognize the progress of women’s rights since obtaining suffrage in 1920;
  • Shine a light on all we still need to do to achieve full equality for women;
  • Showcase the many dynamic and effective existing women’s rights organizations;
  • Host 2020 event to commemorate the right to vote: inspired by the Boston suffrage parades of 1914 and 1915, Suffrage100MA looks forward to creating a similar event in 2020. Please note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our 100th Anniversary commemoration event has been postponed to October 2021.
