WHEREAS, The 19th Amendment, which legally guaranteed American women the right to vote, was ratified on August 18th, 1920; and

WHEREAS, Nearly a decade prior, California became the sixth state in the nation to approve political equality, approving women’s suffrage in California after the State Legislature placed Proposition on the ballot and voters approved the measure on October 10th, 1911; and

WHEREAS, Initially introduced to the U.S. Congress in 1878, suffragists picketed, lobbied states, and challenged male-only voting laws in courts until Congress passed the amendment on June 4th, 1919; and

WHEREAS, Recognizing that although the amendment represented gains in women’s enfranchisement, women of color were continually excluded for another years until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965; and

WHEREAS, Women with disabilities were only able to secure protections in after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act; and

WHEREAS, Women voters have improved the state by exercising their position at the ballot box, lobbying their representatives, and forming civic leagues nationwide; and

WHEREAS, The 19th Amendment played a pivotal role in promoting reproductive rights for women. As a result, women experienced economic progress with the increased availability of family-planning services and supplies, allowing more women to enroll in higher education and enter professional occupations;

now, therefore,

be it Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly recognizes the years since the passage of the 19th amendment and urges all Californians to join in celebrating the anniversary of the 19th amendment; and be it further Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit copies of this resolution to the Governor and to the author for distribution.
