Congressman Walkinshaw’s Women’s History Month Event
How will the SAVE Act and other attacks on voting rights affect women, minorities, and rural communities?
Join us for a conversation surrounding voting rights and the SAVE Act, and the devastating effects that this would have on women, minorities, and rural communities.
Following the panel discussion, attendees will have a chance to visit the Lorton Prison Museum featuring the Lucy Burns Gallery. The Workhouse gained early visibility by holding suffragist Lucy Burns, Dora Lewis and dozens more. The treatment of the suffragists while at the Occoquan Workhouse in 1917 would play a pivotal role in the fight to pass the 19th Amendment.
Space for this event is limited. Please register here in advance.
