Women’s History Month Event

Location: Lorton Prison Museum, Lucy Burns Gallery; Building W-2 9518 Workhouse Way Lorton, VA 22079

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 and 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.
