WSCC + Twitter Partnership

The Commission partnered with Twitter and the Smithsonian Institution to design an official National Women’s Suffrage Month emoji, inspired by the historic purple, white, and gold banners from the American suffrage movement. The emoji is pictured below in a Suffrage Month tweet by First Lady Melania Trump. Throughout August 2020, when Twitter users would include the hashtags #SuffrageMonth, #19thAmendment, #ForwardIntoLight, #WomensVote100 (the official hashtag of the Commission), and #19SuffrageStories (the official hashtag of the Smithsonian’s August suffrage history campaign) in their tweets, the emoji would appear alongside these hashtags.
