💜 Happy Women’s Equality Day!

On August 26, we honor the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which recognized women’s right to vote in the United States.

In 2026, we commemorate 106 years since this historic milestone and remember the courageous women whose persistence helped expand voting rights and advance opportunities for generations to come.

At Soroptimist International of Merced, we continue that spirit by working to empower women and girls through education and opportunity. 💙
