The California Suffrage Parade Coalition is inviting all women, girls and their supporters to the Third Annual statewide celebration with “A Special Tribute to the League of Women Voters”
Commemorating the heroic suffragettes struggle in winning the right to vote, the parade starts at 10 a.m. at Sacramento’s Southside Park, 5th and T. Street. The parade’s destination is the North steps of the California State Capitol for an 11 a.m. rally with exciting guest speakers, esteemed women officials, info booths and music.
