"I've always believed that we could change the world if we start listening to one another again. We must use our voices to achieve equality for all women, today and every day."
— Bella Abzug, a leader of the women's movement who worked to promote Women’s Equality Day
With annual commemorations of Women's Equality Day, the Women's Action Coalition of the Fox Valley celebrates our past achievements while reaffirming our commitment to the pursuit of equality for all women.
Our Coalition was made possible through a grant from the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region.
Who We Are
The Women’s Action Coalition of the Fox Valley is a collective of passionate women, united in the spirit of the suffragists, and committed to promoting equality for all women. Born from the unity of various women's groups during the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, we continue to work tirelessly towards equal rights and opportunities.
Our Coalition was made possible through a grant from the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region.
