Community Celebration to Honor Local Suffragist Elizabeth Skinner in Dunedin
Community Celebration to Honor Local Suffragist Elizabeth Skinner in Dunedin
DUNEDIN, FL — June 5, 2026 — Community members, civic organizations, and advocates for women’s rights will gather at Edgewater Park in Dunedin on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. to celebrate the life and legacy of local suffragist Elizabeth Skinner.
The event, titled “Celebrating Local Suffragist Elizabeth Skinner,” will feature a brief discussion on the importance of women’s voting rights in the United States, followed by a community photo opportunity honoring the generations of women who fought to secure the right to vote.
Elizabeth Skinner played an important role in advancing women’s suffrage efforts in Florida, organizing county women through the Equal Suffrage Association and advocating for voting rights in Tallahassee during the pivotal years leading to the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
This coordinated celebration is hosted in partnership with the League of Women Voters North Pinellas, West Pinellas National Organization for Women, Pinellas National Organization for Women, and special guests from La Femme Institute.
Organizers say the event is designed to bring women and girls together while encouraging civic engagement, community participation, and a deeper appreciation for the ongoing importance of voting rights.
“Honoring the women who fought for suffrage reminds us that democracy depends on participation,” organizers shared. “This event is an opportunity to celebrate local history while inspiring future generations to stay engaged in their communities and exercise their right to vote.”
The gathering is open to the public and welcomes residents, students, community leaders, families, and visitors interested in local history and civic engagement.
