For the next two weeks, ArtSpace/Lima will be housing the national touring exhibit "Their Legacy - Our Future." Funded by the League of Women Voters, it's a six banner free-standing exhibit that features the actions and adversity women had to overcome to gain the right to vote. Last month the country celebrated the 100 year anniversary of that feat. The exhibit won a national graphic design award and has been touring the nation since August 2019.
This year marks 100 years since the 19th Amendment was ratified giving women the right to vote, but an organization in Lima is also celebrating a century worth of hard work.
After women were given the right to vote in 1920, many of the women who fought for suffrage wanted to continue standing up for what they thought was right and making a difference in politics. That’s how the League of Women Voters in the Lima Area was formed.
February 14th marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the “League of Women Voters”. Their mission is to empower voters by providing information through forums and resource materials for an educated electorate. That mission hasn’t changed.
The Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce and The League of Women Voters hosted a “Meet the Candidates” reception this evening so voters could better familiarize themselves with the candidates. There are three Democratic primary candidates that are on the ballot on March 17th to challenge the incumbent Jim Jordan for the 4th Congressional District seat in the US House of Representatives. The candidates spoke to us about what they would bring to the district as a Representative.
Fresh of the presses, the League of Women Voters Voting Guide is available now.
The Lima League of Women Voters is hosting a forum on State Issue 1.
