We had a great time meeting up with Sign4ERA when they recently stopped by in their 1914 Saxon Roadster. The vehicle honors Alice Burke and Nell Richardson, who drove a similar Saxon known as the “Golden Flyer” across America in 1916 to campaign for women’s suffrage.

This group is reenacting the tour, traveling a similar 25-state route in their "Golden Flyer II," as they advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment. Learn more and follow along on their journey at drivingthevote.org.
