It’s the birthday of Inez Milholland, America’s suffrage martyr.

If you haven’t ordered your free copy of the new 15-minute film, “Forward Into Light,” do so now by visiting the web site for the production: InezMilholland.org

The film poster is $20. But the film itself is free. You heard that right: FREE.

If you’re a teacher, make sure that your students see the film. They’ll get the importance of Inez immediately. The production by filmmaker Martha Wheelock is a remarkable accomplishment. It puts the viewer right in the line of march of the women who put themselves on the line for the right to vote for American women.

This year, 2016, is the centennial of the death of Inez Milholland. For resources and information, go to the Inez Milholland web site: InezMilhollandCentennial.com

If you’re planning a special celebration for August 26th, Women’s Equality Day, the film is perfect for bringing friends and family members together.

And this fall, we’ll be in touch to make sure you have signed the petition asking President Obama to award a presidential citizens’ medal to Inez. We have to gear up before the end of the year before Obama leaves office.
