Who knows how Catherine crossed the boarders she crossed. As a political and religious refugee, she faced a world that denied her voice. In 1920, when women in the U.S. first gained the right to #vote, she seized the opportunity, registering with resolve in #newyorkcity and casting her ballot with determination.
Catherine’s first vote was a historic moment, a testament to the resilience of countless women who fought for their rights. Today, as we celebrate strides in representation, including @vp@kamalaharris as the first female Vice President of the United States, we must remember that each #vote is a powerful tool for change.
Voting is our chance to make our voices heard and honor those who fought tirelessly for this right. Let’s cherish and protect this privilege, ensuring every voice is counted. As we approach the polls, let’s carry forward the legacy of those who came before us, shaping a future filled with hope and possibility.
My grandmother passed before I was born but her resolve to be heard and counted continues to inspire me.
