Women In Politics Magazine: Beyond the Ballot

Aug. 2021

Magazine Manager CHRISTINE CORRY

This August, 101 years after the ratification of the 19th Amendment, I reflect on my childhood assumptions about a woman’s voice in politics. I learned about Abigail Adams in elementary school, and at the time it was my only experience with seeing anyone similar to me in history or the political arena. So at age 7, I thought to have a voice in politics would require that I become the First Lady.

At age 9, I started watching award shows with my parents and thought that maybe my options had expanded to making a political speech after I won Leading Actress at the Golden Globes. I decided then that this was more doable and more likely than marrying a future president.

By age 11, I worried that my political voice would be contained to debates in history class, where I was hardly taken seriously. I was somewhat all right with the idea of being scoffed at for speaking up during history discussions if it at least meant my voice was heard.

But in 2016, at 12 years old, I realized that maybe there was a voice for me in the political sphere—I would only need to seek it out. The election of 2016 made the scope of my imagination expand to political offices I never considered a possibility. Inspired by the voices of other women, I became more involved in politics. I started making signs for marches. I watched my mom fill out her absentee ballot. I wanted to have an effect on issues I knew would affect me.

Even so, I thought I would need to wait until my 18th birthday to enact change via voting. However, one day of scrolling on TikTok at the beginning of 2021 would change that perception. I found an inspiring group of young women with a passion for having their political voice heard at Women In Politics. This was my opportunity to jump-start my involvement without having to wait for my 18th birthday. I was honored by this opportunity, and I am now proud to be the magazine manager here with the writers, editors, and designers I so admire.

However, it is important to still consider the fact that not everyone has similar opportunities to be involved, and not everyone has the right or ability to vote. With the voice that I am lucky enough to have, I plan to continue raising awareness about the lack of voting equality in the United States and other countries.

Progress has been made, of course. We have come a long way since the days of Abigail Adams. Women gained the right to vote in 1920. Now, in 2021, the current 117th Congress is the most racially and ethnically diverse Congress in United States history. Yet there is still work to be done. African American women in the United States had to wait almost five decades after the 19th Amendment to exercise the right to vote. The percentage of women in Congress is just over one quarter. Women of color make up less than 10 percent of Congress. Despite progress, there is still a lack of equity.

Although myself and other young women have opportunities unlike those before us, there are still barriers in the face of equality and opportunity in politics. Just like the women of the past, we can build on the work of our mothers and grandmothers, using the voices they gave us to push for increased diversity, equality, equity, and opportunity for the next generation. So, keeping in mind the distance we still have to go, and appreciating how far we have come, I hope you enjoy this month’s magazine!

about the cover: This month's issue of the Women In Politics magazine celebrates the women's suffrage movement. From the symbol of the bluebird used in the 1920s to the portrait of Stacey Abrams, who has been fighting for voting rights in the present, I included both aspects of voting from the 1920s to the modern-day voting symbols to show the change and progress that has happened in the last 100 years. It was crucial to highlight the changes made in the movement, including how the movement previously was led and only for white women to now encompass femaleidentifying people of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds.

THE SUPREME COURT STRIKES ON VOTING RIGHTS BY: REGAN MADING

Voting is a founding principle of our nation, the founding fathers fought for our freedom from a monarchy and aimed to assemble a representative government. So why is our government turning its back on the right to vote? Why are we seeing some direct contrasts to the reasons this country was founded, such as taxation without representation? What is even happening in the three branches in regards to voting?

Starting on a state-by-state basis, according to The New York Times, Texas Republicans are attempting to ban drive-through voting and Montana deemed the student IDs are no longer valid forms of identification. These are methods often used by Black and Latinx voters along with young voters, who usually lean left, which is why these red states are targeting them.

1

Now, to the more long-lasting and impacting ruling of the supreme court: Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. The court upheld Arizona restrictions that restricted voting. These laws were, according to NPR “one banned the collection of absentee ballots by anyone other than a relative or caregiver, and the other threw out any ballots cast in the wrong precinct.” The direct statement of the court's holding was: “Arizona’s out-ofprecinct policy and H.B. 2023 do not violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and H.B. 2023 was not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose.”

Essentially the court deemed that Arizona's laws did not violate the voting rights act, which ensures the right to vote and outlaws discriminatory voting practices. The Republican majority court agreed that the Arizona restrictions aligned with efforts to protect voter fraud.

On voter fraud: the claims that Democrats are largely perpetrators of voter fraud are false, as in most of the rare voter fraud cases the issue is Republicans voting twice. So based on the facts, these laws that target democratic voters do not directly work to fight the voter fraud that the U.S. does face.

What this law does, beyond protecting from voter fraud, is allow states to take advantage of voter disparities that are already in place. For example, say a ballot collector goes to collect and then drop off ballots in an Indigenous nation because there is no ballot box on the reserve, that is now no longer legal. So although the ruling does not allow new disparities to be put into place, it

does enforce those already there.

This ruling calls to mind the voter ID laws. According to ProPublica, Voter ID laws are “...measures intended to ensure that a registered voter is who he says he is and not an impersonator trying to cast a ballot in someone else’s name.” On a stateby-state basis, however, these laws can become restrictive and begin to target low-income and young people that do not have a state-issued ID. According to the ACLU, cases of in person fraud are extremely rare and the cost to put these laws into place is in the millions. These more restrictive voter-ID laws often do nothing for fraud and everything for red candidates.

These new laws put voter fraud, rather than things like gerrymandering, at the forefront of the voting conversation when there are other and bigger issues at play.

This ruling gives congress the power to do what it is doing right now and make rulings that prohibit certain groups from voting. The United States was founded on free and fair elections, let's not let that core belief fall away. We are bigger than this, it’s time we show it.

NINETEEN BY: EMMA MARZULLO

America was a country founded by and for white men who owned property. White men could participate in our economy and democracy. They could vote and run for office freely, while more than 75% of the United States population was left without a voice.

This neglect did not go unnoticed. It was felt by minority populations all over the country, from people of color to women.

Restrictive laws mainly found in Southern states, known as Black Codes, limited the availability of people of color to protest for the black suffrage movement.

These restrictive laws were unjust to the community, who, despite backlash, continued their fight for the right to vote. This was achieved in 1866 and 1870 with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. The Fourteenth gave former slaves an official United States citizenship and the Fifteenth guaranteed people will not be denied a vote due to the color of their skin. This was a huge win, as more of the population would be participating in American democracy, making the government more accurately bend to the will of the people.

Upon seeing this progress, women knew they had to join in on the movement. They had been denied a vote since some of the early democracies in history appeared in Greece and Rome. Centuries of unfairness had lead to voices ignored on the basis of sex. In the United States, as early as the Jackson administration, women pulled out their sashes and picket signs to protest for their right to a ballot. However, the coalition of women fighting did not start with the right to vote; these movements began as anti-slavery movements, later expanding into voting rights as leaders Susan B Anthony and Lucy Stone pioneered the movement. However, this expansion meant the movement branched away from its antislavery roots. The movement began to promote racism, as leaders continued to discriminate against their black sisters, as they were viewed as a liability to the movement. Many were angered that black men were given the right to vote while white women were still being ignored. Intersectional feminism was very much neglected at the time of the movement.

Another, more recent controversy surrounds the suspension of sprinter Sha´Carri Richardson. She had done an amazing job at the Olympic trials, running the 100m in merely 10.81 seconds and securing her ticket to Tokyo - and this only a week after losing her biological mother. She instantly became an icon to many, but too soon the dream of running at the Olympics was crushed. A drug test came back positive for marijuana, leading to Richardson´s suspension. As a normal Oregon citizen, she did not even do anything illegal coping with a close family member´s death this way, but as an athlete she now has to face punishment for alleged doping. This case has caused the long-standing discussion about the criminalization of marijuana, or the justification for its place on the doping-list, to reemerge into international political discourse, with some, like congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, linking it to systemic racism. For Sha ´Carri Richardson, however, possible changes following her case are too late.

and every part of it.

By: Susannah Mayall

The month of August marks the anniversary of women winning the right to vote in the United States - an important step in the fight for gender equality. However, this monumental advancement for women is not the first of its kind. Many techniques National Women’s Party uses were inspired by the United Kingdom’s Suffragette Movement, which won the right to vote for married, property-owning women over 30 in 1918. Here is a brief timeline showing how they did it:

1903 - The Founding of the Women’s Social and Political Union. The fight for suffrage had been going on long before 1903, with many petitions being given— and ignored by—Parliament. The Suffragettes (members of the WSPU) mark a shift in campaign to a more active and physical approach.

9

1908 - Women’s Sunday. Women’s Sunday—the largest-ever political rally in London— takes place. 250,000 people attend, and it got violent fast. Suffragettes smash windows and chain themselves to railings across London.

1909 - Hunger strike. Marion Wallace Dunlop becomes the first Suffragette to go on hunger strike in prison. Force feeding begins. Women refuse to pay taxes. t

1910 - The Conciliation Bill, which would have given property owning women the right to vote, fails to become law. The Suffragettes retaliate by marching to Parliament, where they are assaulted by police. This event is named Black Friday.

1911 - The Suffragettes organise a window-smashing campaign throughout London after the Prime Minister removes restrictions preventing some men to vote. Things get heated and the Suffragettes turn to arson.

1913 - The Epsom Derby. At the Epsom Derby, Emily Davidson is killed after stepping in front of the King’s horse in an attempt to pin a Suffragette banner on it. Over 5,000 women attend her funeral.

10

1914 - World War I. The Suffragette campaign stops in order to bolster the war effort.

1918 - The Representation of the People. The Representation of the People Bill was passed as to thank the women of the country for their support during World War I. This bill gave women over the age of 30 and men over the age of 21 the right to vote

The british Suffragettes' influence on the US women’s suffrage movement can be seen when Emmeline Pankhurst, The founder of the WSPU, toured the US giving, speeches on suffrage. The leaders of both movements also often worked together to come up with ideas on how to advocate for women’s suffrage such as militancy and picketing.

However, the most prominent connection between the two suffrage movements is through Alice Paul, an American suffragette who joined the WSPU while studying in Britain. She gained notoriety in the US after being force fed in a London prison. Upon her return to the US, she quickly became involved in the US suffrage movement, where she helped the movement by using the skills she had learned with the Suffragettes.

She rallied for more violent strategies, as well focusing their campaign on the White House and the Constitution, rather than on winning suffrage state by state.

As the anniversary of women’s suffrage in the USA comes around, it remains important to look at women’s suffrage on a global scale to see how far we have come. The fight for women’s suffrage started with people like the Suffragettes, and they should be commemorated for their role in advances of gender equality.

CUBAN PROTESTS: REVOLUTION OR REFORM? BY: TING CUI

On Sunday, July 11, 2021, something remarkable happened in Cuba. In San Antonio de Los Banons, a town 45 minutes away from Havana, people spontaneously walked out of their homes and took to the streets, demanding the local government do better. This comes after six consecutive days of power outages for the town, amid Cuba’s despairing economic crisis. When these kinds of small protests happen, it is usually heard of a few days later; the story spreads like an urban legend.

This time, however, it was broadcasted for the whole country to see. Over the past year, access to the internet in Cuba has become more widespread.

From San Antonio de Los Banos, the protests were livestreamed, which inspired people all across the island to protest as well. In a domino effect, the more people who took to the streets, the more people who followed; this continued until thousands were gathered, pouring out their grievances to the

government, begging them to take action and help the people of Cuba.

As people marched, they chanted “Liberta!” and “Patria y Vida!” These phrases mean “Liberty” and “Fatherland and Life”, they are

citizens. The government's cash crunch means they are not able to buy or produce enough food for their people, causing a constant hustle for folks to find food. People have resorted to waking up at 5 am and waiting in line for hours for the market, only to find that there is no more food left on the shelves or that the prices are too high to afford.

Most families can barely feed their children and have gone down to one meal a day. Hospitals are underfunded and in bad condition as well — a huge issue, especially within the context of Cuba’s COVID-19 explosion. Hospitals can barely muster enough to purchase basic medicines like penicillin or aspirin. To

In the recent past, there have been several protests by resistance groups, these have failed because the government is so good at stifling a protest before it even starts. Nothing like July’s events has happened since the Cuban Revolution in the 1950s. There has never been a modern protest in which thousands of regular people have gone out to fearlessly call for change. Never before have the people of Cuba so openly called out the President. The extremities of the situation are revealing of Cuba’s current status, such outcry wouldn’t occur absent horrible conditions.

make matters worse, the abovementioned power outages force people to boil in the heat during this particularly hot summer.

13

The government was ill-equipped to deal with such a sudden gathering of thousands compared to small groups of the past. Though, once they got over their initial shock, they began to crack down hard. Shortly after the protests grew, the internet was cut, police were given riot gear, and special forces were sent to arrest anyone involved. The government even authorized rapid response renegades, groups of hardcore government supporters with bats, to break up protests. Many were badly injured, and some even died. At this point, the protests are largely extinguished, but the underlying conditions remain.

Protests are effective only if they are the catalyst for change. The question to be asked is what kind of change are Cubans demanding? Is it through revolution or reform? It all depends on whom you ask.

The people of Cuba have remained repressed for generations, these protests are the younger generation's way of breaking through the status quo. Cubans are adamant that they will no longer be pawns in the complicated US-Cuban relationship, they are done being victims of their economically incompetent government. Though, through all the upset, there is a common understanding that certain circumstances made it difficult for the government to do enough. I would not label it a rebellion against the government, but rather a rebellion against a series of events that brought upon an unbearable present. Some are

demanding reform, while some are demanding an overhaul of the entire system, hoping to introduce democracy. For the moment it’s not clear which side is winning, but one thing is certain: it’s hard to live in Cuba.

“If you can do this stuff in the Deep South, if you can elect a Black Southern preacher and a Jewish son of an immigrant to the U.S. Senate while Donald Trump sits in the White House, then, by God, everything else is possible,” Stacey Abrams said.

Abrams' fight against voter suppression in “Latino voter turnout increased by 72 percent. A.A.P.I voters increased by 91 percent. Black voters increased their turnout by 20 percent,” Abrams told The New York Times, sharing Georgia’s voting statistics from the general 2020 election. Her voter outreach campaigns were widely successful in attaining her vision: the Democratic Party and democracy in general were benefiting more from engaging with disenfranchised minority voters than from continuing to plead for votes from white moderates.

Georgia is fueled by her past in politics.

Before she was even of voting-age, Abrams started a voter-registration drive at Spelman College, she told students at a February 2020 Miami town hall meeting. At the age of 17, she joined the political sphere as a speechwriter for a congressional campaign and an Office of Youth Services staff member for Maynard Jackson, Atlanta’s first Black mayor. From 2006 to 2017, Abrams was one of the representatives in Georgia’s House of Reps, was the House Minority Leader and led the Georgia General Assembly from 2010 to 2017 as the first woman to do so.

2013 was the year Abrams founded the New Georgia Project, focusing on increasing the electorate by registering new, predominantly Black voters in churches, college campuses and neighborhoods. Between 2014 and 2016, the New Georgia Project registered over 200,000 BIPOC voters.

16

In 2018, Abrams ran for Georgia governor, winning a gubernatorial nomination but ultimately losing the race, by just 55,000 votes (out of four million), to Brian Kemp, Georgia’s Secretary of State. However, this race was not a fair fight in the slightest -- voter suppression tactics present in this election involved Kemp’s office removing 700,000 voters from the rolls in the two years prior to the election and shutting down 200 pollstations, many of which were located in poor and minority neighborhoods. Furthermore, as Georgia’s Secretary of State, Kemp had enforced some of the country’s strictest voting restrictions.

This prompted Abrams to found Fair Fight, the voting-rights organization she used to educate poor and minority voters about the 2020 election, their voting rights and voter registration and to financially support and train voter protection groups in 20 battleground states. Another organization Abrams created is Fair Count which focused on getting BIPOC and rural populations counted in the 2020 Census.

Stacey Abrams is widely expected to run for Georgia governor again in 2022.

With the voting infrastructure she has helped build in Georgia and the momentum from these past two years, it would be no surprise if she succeeds in painting Georgia blue once again. However, with laws being passed in Georgia and other southern states seeking to restrict voting in the wake of false election fraud claims brought on by the high usage of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election, we’ll need more voting rights advocates and leaders like Abrams who will truly take action to protect everyone’s Constitution-given right to vote. Only then will our nation be a true democracy.

Walnut Creek, CA | 15 years old My name is Rebecca Joseph and I am a highschool sophomore from the Bay Area. I got interested in politics during my first year of high school where I joined the Speech and Debate team. From there I fell in love with the world of politics, but soon became aware of the lack of representation women were getting in the field. I wanted to be part of a community of teens who want to support each other and the younger generation to pursue a career in politics; however, I was unable to find anything, so I started Women In Politics. Now, four months later I have been blessed with an amazing team and I cannot wait for all we are going to accomplish.
