Join Broadway Celebrates Awareness of Women’s Suffrage (BCAWS) in recognizing Women’s Equality Day (Aug. 26). It’s the 104th anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — women’s suffrage.
The concert will feature songs about empowerment and inclusion performed by an all-star cast.
The program will also raise awareness about a referendum to amend the New York State Constitution.
The measure has been referred to as the “New York State Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).”
The New York Times reports: “Not only would [the ERA] prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, but also on the basis of ‘pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive health care and autonomy.’ It would ban government discrimination based on age, ethnicity, national origin, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Groups like BCAWS and the New York Civil Liberties Union Artist Ambassadors are proud to promote events aimed at enhancing awareness about the ERA.
BCAWS has taken no position, for or against, the proposed Amendment.
This concert is dedicated in memory of Rebecca Luker.
Produced by Lauren Molina and Steve Kleinberg.
