September 19 has long been a date marked by events that have shaped the course of history across the globe. Moving back in time, on September 19, 1893, New Zealand became the first country to grant women the right to vote in national elections. This groundbreaking achievement was a major milestone in the global suffrage movement and paved the way for women's political empowerment worldwide. The success in New Zealand inspired activists in other nations to intensify their campaigns for equal voting rights, marking the day as a symbol of progress in gender equality.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and U.S. House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA-5) today reintroduced legislation to help increase access to on-campus child care for the more than 3 million parenting students currently enrolled in postsecondary education programs.
