OTD in 1917, suffragists including Lucy Burns endured the brutal “Night of Terror” at the Occoquan Workhouse for peacefully demanding the right to vote. Their courage shocked the nation and strengthened the fight for suffrage — leading to the 19th Amendment.

Today we’re grateful for the right to vote — a right made possible by the 19th Amendment and the tireless efforts of leaders like Carrie Chapman Catt. As you wear your “I Voted” sticker today, remember the generations of women and men who worked to make every voice count.

This Halloween, we’re reminded that civic engagement is no trick — it’s a treat! Take a moment to make sure you’re registered to vote and ready to make your voice count, just like Carrie Chapman Catt worked for so many to be able to do.
