The Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation launched a donation campaign Tuesday to raise an estimated $50 million needed to build a monument on the National Mall, reports the Tennessee Lookout. The campaign, 72-Hours for Women’s Monumental Equality Giving Challenge, will end tomorrow at 11 a.m. CDT. Funds will go towards designing and erecting the monument, which will honor 200 years of efforts by activists who have fought for women’s right to vote on the streets and in the courts. The U.S. House Natural Resources Committee unanimously passed a bill in July that would allow the monument to be constructed on the mall but provided no federal funding.
