ERA Update in the Unratified States

Did you know that there are still 14 states that have not ratified the ERA?  In many states ERA has been languishing in committees for DECADES! This is not right.  Our request for basic civil and human rights are not to be ignored and we need to be clear and strong in that assertion to our elected officials.

Let’s make your voice heard in your state legislature – together we can bring women and our allies out to support these hearings and votes. In fact, ERA needs to be voted on right away in all 14 state legislatures where they have negligently let it lie.  We must demand that ERA legislation is pulled out of committees and calendared for a vote before the end of the year.  If our ERA sponsors cannot do that – they need to be replaced with representatives who can and will.

Sign up to join our teams on the ground today.  Let us know what you can do and how you can help.  Tell ten people every day that women don’t have equal rights and that we need to do something about it NOW.
