DID YOU KNOW: Today is Texas Women Veteran's Day

June 12, 1948, a groundbreaking Women's Armed Services Integration Act, signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.

While women have served in the American military since before we became a nation, they were not officially recognized as military members or veterans until 1948. Women were originally relegated to serving in the civilian fields of nursing, laundering, mending clothing and cooking. Despite this segregation, many served in war zones alongside their male compatriots, and some even dressed as men during the Civil War and fought on the front lines and 1 has earned the Medal Of Honor. https://www.army.mil/article/183800/meet_dr_mary_walker_the_only_female_medal_of_honor_recipient

Out of more than 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients, only one was a woman - just one - and it was an award that was rescinded just before the honoree died.

Let’s tell Greg Abbott: Save our Lives and Protect our Hospitals. No more excuses. Expand Medicaid now for Texans!

Tana, It's almost time for the Medicaid for Texas Virtual Rally — happening tonight at 6 p.m. Will you join us?

It has never been more urgent to advocate for the immediate expansion of Medicaid in Texas. The COVID-19 crisis has given us a new perspective on having the highest rate of uninsured people in the country.

Join the rally tonight via Facebook Live or the nonprofit SickOfItTX website.

Houston Women March On is an all-volunteer nonpartisan nonprofit 501c3. Please donate today to empower our voter registration, "Fair Maps" advocacy, and GOTV activities for the 2020 elections and beyond.

Together, we are a powerful voice for women and communities in Texas. Thanks for all you do.

A Brief History

ON JUNE 12,1948, PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN SIGNED INTO LAW THE WOMEN’S ARMED SERVICES INTEGRATION ACT ALLOWING WOMEN TO SERVE AS REGULAR MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY.

On June 9, 2017 Texas Senate Bill 805 was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott designating June 12th as Women Veterans Day.

Partnering with Houston Women's March organization, we are making history. It is the 70th Anniversary of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act (1948). To celebrate those 70 years we are having the 1st Women Veteran's March. Please see the following information.
