Norwich Recognition of Women's Equality Day August 26, 2020 and
Centennial passage of the 19th amendment

In the final push toward passage of the 19th amendment, "silent sentinels" stood in front of the White House with signs demanding equal rights, facing arrest and jail. Because of their unstinting dedication, women finally won the vote nationally when Congress acted on August 26, 1920. . Now, a century later, equal rights for all citizens is still incomplete. We still have work to do.

Silent no more, we ask you to join us in front of the post office, the town hall, the library—to urge passers-by to reflect on the importance of the vote for all citizens. We will have signs to carry, you can sing songs, wear a 1920s hat or skirt or just your regular clothes to engage in dialog with townspeople about voting, all while observing protocols of social distancing and face coverings.

When: Wednesday, August 26, 2020 from 1-2pm

Where: let's gather by the Norwich bandstand on the green at 1 O'Clock . We can then disburse to the front of the post office, library, and town hall, (not on private property and not blocking the sidewalk.) We can have up to 10 people at each place.
