The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) partnered with the Leagues of Women Voters of Sarasota and Manatee counties to host the “Remarkable Women: An Equality Day Luncheon” on August 26, commemorating the 19th Amendment – the first step in granting women the right to vote. Mercedes Soler, co-owner and president of Solmart Media, moderated a panel of local women who spoke about the role women have played in shifting U.S. policies, and the opportunities to continue elevating their voices. “We are recalibrating and calling on all women to help us move the work forward,” Soler explained.
