During a recent city council meeting in Lompoc, Mayor Janelle Osborn issued a proclamation in honor of Women's Equality Day, recognizing August 26 as a significant date commemorating the certification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. The proclamation highlights the ongoing efforts of women across the United States to secure full rights and privileges as citizens.

Mayor Osborn expressed her pride in issuing the proclamation, noting the historical significance of her role as a female mayor and the progress made since women were granted the right to vote. She emphasized the importance of celebrating Women's Equality Day as a reminder of the continued struggle for equality.

Representatives from the American Association of University Women (AAUW) and the League of Women Voters attended the meeting to accept the proclamation. Alison Wales, a member of the League, thanked the council for the recognition and reiterated the organization's commitment to educating citizens about voting and civic engagement. She announced upcoming forums aimed at promoting voter education and participation in the community.

The meeting also included a brief report from the closed session, where the council discussed real property negotiations but reported no actionable outcomes.
