The 19th is an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting on gender, politics, policy and power. We’re named for The 19th Amendment – a watershed moment in our democracy that was meant to make voting a right regardless of sex. In reality, it gave White women the right to vote, while women of color remained disenfranchised for another four decades. We acknowledge that fact in our logo with an asterisk, and dedicate our reporting to the women and LGBTQ+ people still fighting to be seen and heard in our democracy.
