1/ A century ago today, on Aug. 26, 1920, the #19thAmendment https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> was adopted, making voting a right regardless of sex.

Although this was a watershed moment in our democracy, it excluded millions of people, including women of color, from the ballot box for generations.

2/ The #19thAmendment https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">, for which our newsroom is named, remains unfinished business, a fact we acknowledge in our logo with an asterisk — a visible reminder of those who have been omitted from our democracy.

We take that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="*️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Sternchen" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Sternchen"> into our reporting. For us, it& #39;s lift one, lift all.

For White women, it& #39;s historically been race over gender. For Black women, though not monolithic, it& #39;s been about strength in numbers. https://19thnews.org/2020/08/suffrage-centennial-exposes-vote-gap-in-black-and-white-women/">https://19thnews.org/2020/08/s...

5/ The asterisk in our reporting —

@shoeleatherkate has dug into the challenges that transgender Americans face. It& #39;s more important than ever as up to 42 percent of eligible trans voters could face the prospect of disenfranchisement in November. https://19thnews.org/2020/08/trans-americans-voting-rights-pandemic/">https://19thnews.org/2020/08/t...

6/ The asterisk in our reporting —

And our general assignment reporter @keaux_ has recently covered the evolution of Black sororities and the political process.

It& #39;s "a history of great glory," a century in the making. https://19thnews.org/2020/08/black-sororities-in-suffrage/">https://19thnews.org/2020/08/b...

7/7 So as our newsroom continues to cover the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="*️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Sternchen" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Sternchen"> and what that means in our democracy, tell us — what does the asterisk represent for you? #The19thLiftOneLiftAll
