Voting matters; we vote together!

AAUW advocates voting rights for all women. Hopefully, everyone voted in this mid-term election. Hopefully, everyone has voted by today.

This Election Day, we honor the generations of women who worked to make their voices heard—and opened doors for others to do the same.

Across communities, countries, and generations, women have organized, advocated, and persevered to secure voting rights and a voice in the decisions that shape their lives. Their work took many forms, from gathering signatures and challenging laws to helping neighbors register and get to the polls.

At the National Women’s Hall of Fame, we celebrate the women whose courage and determination expanded opportunities for others. Today, we can honor their work through our own participation.

If you’re eligible and haven’t already cast your ballot, make your voice heard. Vote today!

Women's voices need to be heard by voting for candidates who support women's rights.

A woman's vote is 100% hers.

In a new op-ed for Ms. Magazine, AAUW CEO Gloria L. Blackwell examines how policies and proposals affecting voting rights, higher education, childcare, and economic opportunity threaten women’s independence and equality.

As Election Day approaches, her message is clear: Women must have the freedom to make their own decisions, pursue their ambitions, and be heard.

Our democracy is stronger when every woman can shape her own future.

THEY FOUGHT, THEY SUFFERED, SOME OF THEM DIED. THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS VOTE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Women were arrested, imprisoned, beaten, force-fed during hunger strikes, and publicly humiliated because they demanded a right that should never have been denied to them: the right to vote.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These women put their bodies, their freedom, and their lives on the line so that future generations of women would have a voice in their own government.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And now that we have that right, what do we do with it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We use it. WE VOTE!
