INFORMATION RELATED TO THE BILL:
- “Women’s history is the foundation for our nation’s history, but far too often it is forgotten and overlooked. In the 1970s, women in our district sought to right this wrong, forming the Education Taskforce of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women. This group started a Women’s History Week, leading an effort that became a national movement and the recognition of Women’s History Month,” said Thompson. “Each year I introduce this resolution honoring our district’s critical role in the movement and mark Women’s History Month. We must continue adding the stories of women to our national consciousness.”
This year’s Women’s History Month specifically honors the women of our nation’s original suffrage movement as well as the women throughout the 20th and 21st Centuries who have fought to ensure the right to vote for all. This theme is reflected in Thompson’s resolution, which you can click here to read. (Source: Rep. Thompson, Press Release, 03/02/20)
