You are invited to join MTA-CO's Speaking of Democracy series. This session will consider U.S. Women's Suffrage and the Long Struggles for Justice: 70 years to pass; 100 years of enfranchisement.

Professor Michel Coconis will discuss high points of the struggle for women's right to vote. Following a short review of the history of U.S. woman's suffrage, we will consider the current struggle to amend the U.S. Constitution today that would remove personhood rights from corporations, thereby ensuring those rights, including universal suffrage, to all actual humans.

Additionally, this session will provide resources on voter outreach, registering voters, and helping people vote in this general election on or before November 3, 2020!

Please join us for a brief romp through women's suffrage history to underscore why elections matter now and why ending corporate personhood makes these elections and other civic engagement mattered even more. 

We the People Miami County welcome you to participate in "Building Community" meeting. This virtual program will feature local and national speakers addressing several issues of local concern and steps for creating a community where everyone thrives.

Speakers include:

Bailey Williams, a first-year law student at the University of Cincinnati and community activist, will focus on racial justice.

Dick Steineman, director of both St. Patrick Soup Kitchen and St. Joseph's House, will discuss access to affordable housing and mental health services.

Jessica Munger, national program director for Move to Amend, who will explain the connection between these issues and why a constitutional amendment is critical to lasting change.

We The People Miami County is a local group working in partnership with Move to Amend, a national, non-profit, non-partisan grassroots coalition of people and organizations working for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that makes clear constitutional rights belong to human beings only and money spent on elections is not a protected form of speech and shall be regulated.

The program is free and open to the public.

The current health and economic crises are exposing our nation's underlying and long-standing democracy crisis. While public attention focuses on meeting people's basic survival needs, big corporations and the rich are using the pandemic as cover to increase in multiple ways their profits and power.
