Women’s History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world, but while there is much to celebrate, there are still battles to be fought. The SAVE Act is one of those battles.

The US House has again voted to advance legislation to the US Senate that would fundamentally change how eligible Americans register to vote. But this time, they’re adding measures for voters to “show their papers” at the polling location before they vote.

Modeled after the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Sentiments made an argument for equality by rewriting the idea that “all men are created equal,” to insisting that all men and women are created equal.

Women’s inability to vote topped the list of complaints, and became the cornerstone of the women’s rights movement for over seven decades. The Declaration’s wider demands have echoed for more than 175 years.
