Dear Readers,

{{}}

On this weekend in 1848 — 160 years ago — women and men gathered in Seneca Falls, New York, for the first American conference on women’s rights and suffrage.

Barack Obama has always fought for women’s rights. In his more than 20 years of public service as a civil rights lawyer, state senator, and U.S. Senator, Barack has been an advocate for all Americans’ economic and legal equality.

To commemorate the anniversary of the historic Conference and honor the right to vote, the Campaign for Change and the Ohio Democratic Party Women’s Caucus are organizing a Seneca Falls 160th Anniversary Women to Women Weekend.

Our Women to Women Weekend features more than 50 events across the state, where we will highlight Barack Obama’s support among Ohioans and reach out to voters to grow our movement in the Buckeye State.

These events are a great way to build our movement in Ohio with canvasses, voter registration, phone banks, and house meetings that will help candidates up and down the ballot.

On the issues that are most important to Ohioans, Barack will work for positive change in Washington, while John McCain will continue George Bush’s failed policies of the last 8 years.

With the general election upon us, your fellow Americans are relying on you to step up and work for the change we need.

Ohio will be a crucial part of our general election strategy, and our efforts here will be felt all across the country.

Join us this weekend to commemorate the historic events of the Seneca Falls conference, and help grow our grassroots movement for change:
