STATEMENT
Alice Paul was born and raised in New Jersey. Alice Paul's vision that women and men should be equal partners in society led to enormous changes in the rights and status of American women. One of her many accomplishments include helping to secure passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, granting women the right to vote.
This bill requires the State Capitol Joint Management Commission to display a representation of Alice Paul in the State Capitol building. The representation will recognize and honor Alice Paul's struggle for women's suffrage and the ratification of the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution. August 18, 2020 will mark the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment.
