The Alice Paul Center for Gender Justice is seeking five volunteers to serve on our Volunteer Committee for our annual Women’s Equality Day Festival. The volunteers will assist APC staff with organizing this year’s festival. The festival will be held on Saturday, August 23rd from 12 -4 PM.

About Women’s Equality Day

August 26 is recognized as Women’s Equality Day to celebrate the day that the 19th Amendment was certified. At APC, Women’s Equality Day is dedicated not only to women’s success and solidarity, but also to acknowledging the long road ahead that leads to true gender equality for all. While this day is the anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment, that law did not guarantee all women the right to vote. Most women of color obtained their franchise with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, after nearly half a century more of struggle.

2025 will be our 4th annual Women’s Equality Day festival. The family-friendly festival will feature craft vendors, live music, food trucks, a beer garden, lawn games, activities, and more. We saw approximately 500 visitors to our festival last year.

Volunteer Committee Responsibilities
