FEATURED CAMPAIGN:

Women’s Monument Initiative

We’re proud to stand with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs in supporting the creation of the Women’s Suffrage National Monument in Washington, D.C.

The monument will commemorate the suffragists who secured women’s right to vote, catalyzed a movement for change, and transformed American democracy. Our chapter is helping raise awareness and funds locally, including a donation display at 216 N Main Street, Rutherfordton, NC.

Together, we’re honoring the legacy of women who shaped our democracy—and continuing their work today.
