Women's Equality Day Program
Honoring the women who went before us, we will explore all the ways each of us can engage and be part of our hard fought right to vote. Ashley Kindsvatter & Sara Petrie are the Co-Founders and Co-Hosts of the United SHE Stands podcast, a show dedicated to bringing kindness and women into politics.
Ashley has always had a passion for leadership and politics. She has undergraduate degrees in Political Science and Computer Science and a Master’s of Arts in Organizational Leadership. Although she has spent her career not engaged in politics and instead as an IT Professional in the data and analytics space, she knew she wanted to get involved and make an impact.
Sara has a passion for kindness and lifting others up. She has a degree in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics. While Sara was not interested in politics at all until 2020, she knew even before starting her IT career that she wanted to help others more directly and make a positive impact on the world around her. She didn’t find anything that could scratch that itch until she was approached about starting the United SHE Stands podcast to educate and inspire women to get more involved in politics.
The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality. It was not until 1975 that all women had the full right to vote. Celebrate this day with us.
