It’s been a year since the Women’s March showed that women will lead the resistance—just as they did at the turn of the 20th century to win legal rights for women to participate in elections. I didn’t learn much in school about the organizing tactics these women employed, the long-term battle they waged to enter civic life, or their resilience. National monuments, like Washington D.C.’s Belmont-Paul, are not only places of huge cultural and historical importance but also invaluable teaching tools. And a threat by the current administration to rescind any national monument establishes a threat to all national monuments. Take action: http://on.nrdc.org/2BwpOiQ
