This August, The 19th commemorates the suffrage centennial with The 19th Represents, presented by Goldman Sachs and Intuit, a week of virtual events that raises the voices of women — past and present — who are reshaping the American story. Join us Aug. 10-14 for a series of conversations with prominent women in politics, civic engagement, journalism and the arts.

Aug. 11, 1pm to 3:45 p.m. CST (2 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. EST)

Join us as we revisit the unequal history of voting rights in our nation and consider the work we have left to do to ensure the 19th Amendment — ratified a century ago — truly extends to all women.

The 19th is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. We aim to empower women — particularly those underserved by and underrepresented in American media — with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy. This summer, The 19th is launching a nonprofit news platform for women seeking news and information at the intersection of gender, politics and policy. The 19th aims to level the playing field with:

Free-to-consume and free-to-republish journalism that reimagines politics and policy coverage through a gender lens

Deep-dive, evidence-based reporting that exposes gender inequity and injustice, and reveals surprising and original stories on the issues that most deeply affect women’s lives, from health care to the economy

A newsroom that reflects the racial and socioeconomic diversity of American women and is devoted to covering all women with empathy

A digital platform for civil conversations and community building, and national events that bring our readers into direct contact with their elected officials
