On July 22, 1923, Alice Paul and her National Women’s Party unveiled the Equal Rights Amendment in Seneca Falls, New York. A hundred years later, we’re finally on the brink of enshrining it in the constitution.
We need the ERA now more than ever. Ferocious attacks on women’s reproductive rights and LQBTQ+ rights are on the rise. Young women today are part of the first generation to have fewer rights than their mother and grandmothers.
Both the House and Senate have resolutions declaring that the ratification is valid and should be enshrined in the Constitution. Tell your members of Congress to pass these vital resolutions as soon as possible.

There are two requirements to ratify a Constitutional amendment, and the ERA has met both :
✅ Two-thirds of the U.S. House and Senate proposed it.
✅ Three-quarters of state legislatures (38 states) ratified it.
Nationally, some 85% of voters support the ERA. We want our Sign4ERA [[link removed]] petition to reflect the overwhelming support for equal rights with hundreds of thousands of signatures. When you sign, it’s immediately sent to your Senators and Representatives. You can take action now! [[link removed]]
This weekend I’m going to Seneca Falls, the birthplace of the Equal Rights Amendment, to strengthen the ERA campaign. The centennial convention is intergenerational, with feminists who have dedicated their lives to gender equity and young people determined to push forward. Join us on July 21 and 22 where we will strategize for the ERA.

After a century of organizing, it’s time—long overdue—to enshrine the ERA in the Constitution.
For equality,
