Help celebrate Women’s History Month by recording a brief—a very brief—video of yourself sharing an experience about voting.

Perhaps you’d like to reminisce (again, just briefly) about the first time you marked a ballot. 

Or perhaps when you sat down and helped a newcomer register to vote.

Or how you know in your bones, that despite claims by others, that your vote is your voice—and that it matters. 

A new partnership between the League of Women Voters of Washington and the Washington Office of the Secretary of State offers League members an opportunity to record a snippet and have it posted on both the LWV and the State secretary’s social media accounts, specifically on Facebook and Instagram.

The purpose is to celebrate Women’s History Month and remind the public of the importance of women’s suffrage, which in Washington state began earlier than in most other states.

It’s easy to do. All you need is a camera that takes video and the ability to text your recording to the SOS account at 360-701-0843 or upload it to the SOS dropbox here.

But act fast! The deadline to submit your video is Sunday, March 22.

Follow the guidelines on the accompanying illustrations or view the flyers HERE, for more details, including prompts to which you may like to respond.
