Women's Equality Day 2026

Each year on August 26, we commemorate 1920 ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which secured women’s constitutional right to vote.
About this Event

More than a century later, that legacy remains deeply relevant. This fall, ballot decisions across the nation will shape issues that directly affect women’s health, safety, and freedom.

Our theme, “Power and Community,” reflects both the strength of our collective voice and our shared belief that meaningful, lasting change happens when we act together. Women and girls in Santa Clara County deserve not only recognition of their rights, but sustained investment, advocacy, and leadership to ensure their futures are equitable, secure, and full of opportunity.

CSW’s Women’s Equality Day Breakfast is a meaningful opportunity to stand publicly for fairness, inclusion, and opportunity for all. Your support demonstrates a tangible commitment to advancing gender equity in Santa Clara County, while helping create a space that celebrates progress, elevates women’s voices, and inspires collective action.

Whether you participate as an individual or an organization, your attendance helps power an event that honors the past, supports the present, and invests in a more equitable future through our Mini-Grant Program.
