Their courage reminds us: rights aren’t permanent.
They’re defended through action.
When we show up—at the polls, in our communities, in conversations—we honor the women who paved the way.

For women like the Soohoo Louie family, civic participation wasn’t guaranteed—it was earned.
They challenged exclusion, faced prejudice, and built bridges between communities to claim a rightful place in democracy.

The fight for voting rights was never just about access to the ballot.
It was about dignity, voice, and representation.
Every vote cast by a woman today carries the weight of generations who refused to be silenced.
