Our dear EME teammates Alice Crenshaw and DeeDee Giese have worked hard to provide EQUAL MEANS EQUAL with an unbelievable opportunity to raise funds and awareness on an unprecedented scale. We are truly grateful to Alice and Dee Dee and hope you will help us spread the word about the Rocket Challenge! Here is all about it, in Alice’s own words: |

Hi yall! Sorry I have been MIA but I have some HUGE news about the fight for 28. I recently took a job with Rocket, and EME was selected as one of its Community Challenge Champions. So what does that mean? The Rocket family of companies not only includes the obvious like Rocket & Redfin, but numerous other financial and entertainment holdings as well; and the man in charge of it all is worth over 30 BILLION and has a real commitment to giving back – and now EME and the ERA are a part of that! In addition to the page on the official Rocket website, senior leadership matches EVERY DONATION THE LAST WEEK OF THE CHALLENGE (August 19-27) and that includes Dan Gilbert. If we are able to stand out among the organizations participating we have the potential to gain that corporate partner we have been missing and finally put this over the finish line. I have now spent 3 months in the Rocket family and I can honestly say they REALLY are a “not just for profit” organization. (Shout out to Deedee who got me the job and EME in!) I see it and live it every single day. I truly feel this is that once in a lifetime shot to get someone who not only has power, but gives a damn, involved in this, and more than just money. Icing on the cake is that the entire company is coming together at the start of the last week at our HQ in Detroit for a massive 40th anniversary event. Almost 30,000 of us, including ALL the top leadership August 19-21. I know we’ve felt this way before, but this IS the moment. We have the numbers in the general public to make REAL change, all that is needed is something we can all get behind – and that thing IS the 28th Amendment. Given what is going on both within the movement and the wider world this is the Hail Mary; and we need to take advantage of having a trusted and recognized brand in our corner. Here’s the link: Love and Trouble,

We are excited to step up and CRUSH THE ROCKET CHALLENGE and bring the ERA and the hope for women’s true equality to the forefront of the public consciousness across the nation! Let’s make it happen.
We will not stop; we will not quit; we will not give up until ALL people are equal in this country, regardless of sex.
With much love,
