Urge Congress to Ratify the ERA as a Constitutional Amendment
More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, we continue to witness women’s rights being stripped away.
The US Constitution simply does not ensure that all genders have the same rights and protections under the laws of our nation.
It is time. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has met all ratification requirements and must be published as part of the US Constitution.
The ERA was first drafted in 1923 by suffragist Alice Paul, and was introduced in every session of Congress for the next 49 years. In 1972, it was approved by overwhelming majorities in both House and Senate, and sent to the states for ratification. The 38-state threshold needed to become part of the US Constitution proved elusive until in 2018, when Illinois became the 37th state to ratify, and Virginia became the 38th in 2020.
It is time for all genders to be protected equally by the US Constitution.
Speak up! Urge Congress to act now to assert that the ERA is part of the Constitution.
