Recognize August 26, 2025 as Women's Equality Day
In Plain English
The proclamation honors the date the 19th Amendment was certified in 1920, granting women the right to vote. Richmond already celebrates women's equality through an annual 'Sisters in Solidarity' event each March. This formal recognition connects the city to the national observance of women's suffrage and ongoing gender equality efforts.
