The California Suffrage Parade Coalition is inviting all women, girls and their supporters to the Second Annual statewide celebration: Our Vote=Our Voice Women\'s Equality Day Parade and Rally, to commemorate the heroic suffragettes struggle in winning the right to vote. We hope to encourage women to register as voters and make our voice count in all elections.
The Parade contingents will be carrying their festive banners and march alongside floats. Organizations important to all women from labor, the environment and social justice will be represented, including women dressed in period costume or wearing white and purple- the color theme of the parade. This year\'s parade will again have a printed commemorative program and contingents of women from many cultures, professions and issue areas. The rally will feature notable speakers and music to inspire all of us. There will be an array of vendors with merchandise and services and information booths from Code Pink to The National Women\'s History Project.
If you are marching with a group or organization, the registration fee for the group participation is . If you are marching alone, a donation is requested to help offset the Parade costs. Pre-registration is definitely encouraged so that officials can establish the Parade line-up in advance. No one will be turned away on the day of the parade because of the inability to pay the registration fee.
