Alice Paul March for Equality - January 19, 2017

Organized by Friends Select 11th grade students for a Girl Scouts of America Gold Award, hundreds of students, teachers, parents and supporters gathered at City Hall and marched to Eakins Oval to demand equal rights for women and the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Text from the organizer's website: www.alicesmarchforequality.com.

"On January 19th, 2017 Alice's March for Equality will gather in Philadelphia to educate and advocate for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
The march continues the work of Alice Paul, the women's rights activist. In 1913, preceding Woodrow Wilson's first inauguration, Alice and over 8,000 other women marched on Washington to demand a constitutional amendment to give women the right to vote. After the passage of the this amendment in 1920, Alice wrote a new amendment for the equal rights of the sexes, also known as the Equal Rights Amendment.

More than 90 years later, the ERA has still not been passed. Alice's March for Equality aims to put the Amendment back in the spotlight."
