Women Rock the 19th Amendment Event for Women’s Equality Day

Registration and sponsorship are underway for Women Rock the 19th Amendment, A Women’s Equality Day Event, which will take place from noon to 4 p.m., August 24. Women’s Equality Day celebrates the August 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment, which established women’s right to vote, as well as the work of the women that worked for the amendment, especially Alice Paul (1885-1977), who was New Jersey’s most famous suffragist, author of the Equal Rights Amendment, founder of the National Woman’s Party and a lifelong activist for women’s equality.

Held at the birthplace of Alice Paul, the event features performances by four outstanding local female musicians—Deb Callahan, Teri Rambo, Andrea Nardello and Denise Sullivan— as well as unique handmade crafts and locally and organically grown food for purchase from The Farm Truck. Proceeds will support the Alice Paul Institute’s girls’ leadership programs.

“This event promises to be an enjoyable and affordable opportunity to hear some of the area’s most talented musicians and enjoy delicious food on the grounds of Paulsdale, a National Historic Landmark located in Mount Laurel,” comments Paige Salvador, development associate at the Alice Paul Institute. “Stop by and discover this treasure and its history.”

Cost: $5; free for children under the age of 12. For more information or to register, call 856-231-1885, email [email protected] or visit AlicePaul.org. Sponsorships are available.
