John,
We have been waiting over 100 years for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).
The ERA – an amendment to the U.S. Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens, regardless of sex – has satisfied all requirements to be added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment. It was passed through Congress with well over the required 2/3 majority vote and sent to the states in 1972. Virginia voted to become the 38th, and last needed, state to meet the three-quarter state ratification requirement in 2020.
However, prior to ratification, Congress had set an arbitrary deadline for states’ ratification votes . As a result, the ERA’s ratification was blocked by the Trump administration in 2020.
Right now, Congress can pass resolutions to remove the deadline, certify the ERA, and send it to the archivist to publish it as the 28th Amendment.
Sign our petition, John, and urge Congress to ratify the ERA today! >> [[link removed]]

Ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment should not be controversial .
Enshrining equality in the U.S. Constitution would provide new avenues to push for pay equality, strengthen existing laws to protect survivors of gender-based violence, and influence the legal tone and decisions regarding gender equality, positively influencing discrimination cases brought forth over time.
As the ERA states, “Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.” We are calling on Congress to immediately advance the ratification and certification of the ERA to the U.S. Constitution. Discrimination is not up for debate!
Add your name right now: We demand Congress ratify the Equal Rights Amendment >> [[link removed]]

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
Your support is crucial to our efforts. Will you donate today to help us protect voting rights? [[link removed]]
