                                                       Seneca Falls Convention





July 18-19, 1848

Seneca Falls, NY



The First Women's Rights Convention was held in Seneca Falls , NY on July 19 and 20, 1848.  At that time women were not permitted to vote, little less run for elective office.  160 years later, Hillary Clinton ran for President of the United States and won 18 million votes!

An estimated three hundred women and men attended the Convention in 1848, includingLucretia Mott  and Frederick Douglass. At the conclusion, 68 women and 32 men signed the Declaration of Sentiments .

It is fitting that we take this historic moment in time and reflect upon Hillary's historic candidacy.  It uplifted and empowered women around the globe, shattering the highest and hardest glass celing, as Hillary said in her speech on June 7th.

Someday it will be unremarkable for women to lead both Presidential tickets and for women to have parity and equality across the globe.  Hillary's campaign was a great step for all women and we hope to come together on July 19th to acknowledge how  monumental Hillary"s candidacy is in the context of women"s history and the struggle for women"s equality in the United States.
