NEW YORK TIMES:
"Democrats Try a Novel Tactic to Revive the Equal Rights Amendment"
|
|
|
John, Kirsten Gillibrand is boldly leading the fight to finally enshrine equal rights in our Constitution and END gender-based discrimination. But she needs to know whether you support this fight — please respond before midnight:
|
|
|
John, Kirsten has been on the front lines of the toughest fights in Washington since DAY ONE. She's been a fierce leader for gender equality, a tireless advocate for survivors of sexual harassment and a relentless fighter for family rights.
|
|
Now Kirsten is leading the fight for progress yet again: She's announced a bold new strategy to finally certify the Equal Rights Amendment after 100 years of tireless advocacy from some monumental female leaders!
|
|
Right now, a single arbitrary deadline is the ONLY THING stopping the Equal Rights Amendment from being added to our Constitution. Kirsten's resolution would allow us to circumvent that deadline. And once the ERA is certified, it gives us a constitutional basis to accomplish so much of what we've spent decades fighting for: ending the gender pay gap, protecting marriage equality and even restoring reproductive rights nationwide.
|
|
Like Kirsten said, we need the Equal Rights Amendment now more than ever. But Republicans are already scheming to block her resolution! As Kirsten takes on this hugely important fight, she needs to know if grassroots people like you will have her back. Please, will you respond before 11:59 p.m. tonight to show Kirsten where YOU stand?

Do you support the Equal Rights Amendment?
