🔵 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons – July 30

Today we stand united to raise awareness of a dark and devastating global crisis: human trafficking.

Millions of men, women, and children are exploited every year—robbed of their freedom and dignity. Trafficking happens in every country, including where you are! It's a hidden crime, but its impact is real.

👁️‍🗨️ Let us commit to shining a light on exploitation, protecting the vulnerable, and holding traffickers accountable.

We must be vigilant, informed, and unafraid to act.

📱 If you suspect trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888

Historical Moment for Women’s Equality in Sports! -
Women’s Equality Day, August 26
The 2024 Paris Olympics will mark the first time in which women and men athletes competing on Team USA are guaranteed equal pay and benefits in their sport, under the Equal Pay for Team USA law authored by U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.).
The Equal Pay for Team USA law ensures equal pay and benefits for all athletes who represent the United States in global athletic competitions, like the Olympics, Paralympics and the World Cup, regardless of gender. 🎉🎉🎉

Celebrate Women’s Suffrage🙌
Celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped US history.
The Seneca Falls Convention Anniversary is a time to look back at the progress in women's rights, acknowledge the work that still needs to be done, and honor those who paved the way for a more equal society.

The convention, the first of its kind, produced The Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, which has been called the most important document in the history of American feminism and which inaugurated the women's suffrage movement in the United States.

Seneca Falls was organized by a group of five women: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Martha Coffin Wright, Mary Ann McClintock, and Jane Hunt. 💕
