I Ring The Bell

When the 19th Amendment was ratified in Nashville nearly 100 years ago, cities across the country rang bells in celebration — but Nashville did not. This is the year to break this historic silence now: join “I Ring the Bell” to make your mark for a cause you care about.

Here’s how:

• Shoot a cell phone video, selfie-style
• In the video, tell us who you are and what cause you’re ringing a bell for today — and ring an actual bell!
• Beginning July 9, share your video on social media
• Make sure to tag Nashville Public Library (NowAtNPL) and use #IRingTheBell so we can share your statement widely

Your cause can be anything: stamping out domestic violence; advocating for education opportunities; mentoring young people. As long as it matters to you, it counts.

Let this be loud, and help this act of community and solidarity spark a conversation about how far women have come and how far women still have to go.
