On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified, recognizing women’s right to vote after decades of organizing, protesting, and advocating for equality. But the work didn’t end there. Many women, particularly Black women and other women of color, continued facing barriers to voting and full participation in public life.
Today, Women’s Equality Day reminds us that equality is an ongoing commitment: creating opportunities for women to lead, serve, speak, and shape our communities.
At Church of the Apostles, we’re proud to be a female pastor-led congregation, surrounded by women who lead ministries, volunteer, serve behind the scenes, and help move our church forward every day. 💜
We celebrate the women who paved the way, the women leading today, and the work still ahead. 🌱
