Happy Women's Equality Day!

For those of you who are in downtown Boston today, you can celebrate Women's Equality Day right now with your fellow Bostonians:

Celebrate Women's Equality Day with Us!

Women’s Equality Day, August 26, celebrates the day women won the right to vote in 1920. We will gather at the Boston Women’s Memorial on Commonwealth Ave. Mall, between Fairfield and Gloucester Streets, from 12-1:30PM. Join City Councilor Ayanna Pressley, the first woman of color to be elected to the Boston City Council. We will have great music, voter registration, and girl scout snacks. Wear the suffrage colors of white, purple and yellow and join us. All are welcome.

Wherever you are, you can celebrate by reading this USDOL blog post about the importance of construction jobs for women and being thankful for the efforts in our community to achieve gender equality in the construction industry.
