Suffragists Hiked, So Can You
The 1912-1914 Suffrage Hikes in London and the USA gathered supporters, faced opposition and pushed ahead as women do to seek a constitutional right to vote. https://www.filmpreservation.org/dvds-and-books/clips/on-to-washington-1913#
In the USA, court cases found that women were not granted equality under the 14th amendment, making the 19th amendment to the constitution necessary. Today, women’s ONLY constitutionally protected right is the right to vote. It still is constitutionally legal to discriminate against women. It is time women are added to the United States Constitution with equal rights and protections to men and other protected classes.
Bipartisan bills have been introduced in both bodies of the Arizona Legislature but 2 men in seats of power have refused to hear the bills. Now the legislature must act. We call upon the legislature to demand a vote to ratify the ERA on the floor of the House and Senate every single day until a vote is taken. Go on the record - do you or do you not believe women are equal?

Praxis
Hello to all our fellow activists and allies, and so on!
Prescott College, Changemaker High School, and Mexicayotl Academy are working together to organize the Spring 2019 “PRAXIS Youth Organizing Conference” at the K-20 Changemaker High School Campus in Tucson, AZ on March 29-30. PRAXIS will be a two day conference where youth can collaborate together and share skill sets and knowledge gained from previous work. It is geared specifically towards youth who are engaged in community work and/or who are interested in getting involved. This is an opportunity for youth to build new relationships and bring new skills and connections back to their communities. The event will include workshops, youth and student led presentations, activities, food, entertainment, and an exciting keynote speaker, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors.
Because we have decided to host this conference free of charge for participating youth, we are working to raise a total of $6,000 to support this imaginative two day event. This will go towards food, supplies, T-shirts, and other miscellaneous expenses of hosting a conference. In effort to make this event as accessible as possible, we are also raising money to offer travel scholarships to youth who otherwise may not be able to attend. If you feel inspired and are able to donate, any amount will be met with gratitude. If you would like to learn more about the event, please feel free to contact us via email at praxis@k20tucson.org or browse the PRAXIS facebook page. If you would like to donate directly please click HERE, or check out our GO FUND ME.
Thank you for supporting the youth of today and future generations.
Sincerely,
The Students of Changemaker High School.
