The American Labor Museum will host it's first International Women's Day March on Sunday, March 8. The march is part of New Jersey's Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Initiative, which commemorates the passage of the Constitutional amendment that granted women across the country with the legal right to vote. While this parade honors women's solidarity, activism and achievements, it also acknowledges the inequities and challenges New Jersey women of all backgrounds have faced and continue to confront from 1920 to the present day. March 8th is a significant day for this March because it is a global day of celebrating social, economic and political achievements of women.
