AMWA is partnering with Drexel University College of Medicine’s Vision2020: National Women’s Equality Initiative to “Break the Record for Women Voting” in the 2020 elections.
Vision 2020
Vision 2020 is a nonpartisan national coalition of organizations and individuals working to achieve economic, political and social equality for women.
2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution: women’s right to vote. In celebration, Vision2020 has launched Women 100, a series of programs and events that celebrate American women and spark new ideas about the path to gender equality. Vision2020 is also focused on developing a bold new agenda based on shared leadership among women and men, and by breaking the record for women voting in the 2020 national election using the Motivote Platform.
