Dear Friend --
I’m proud to stand with MARCH ON and the ERA Coalition in their efforts to get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified THIS YEAR.
After nearly 100 years of tireless efforts by progressive activists, last January Virginia became the 38th state in our Union to ratify the ERA, satisfying all the requirements set forth in the Constitution for ratification.
Mitch McConnell is REFUSING to bring the bill that would allow Senators to remove the time limit from the ERA this year to the Senate floor. But we have the momentum to stop him in his tracks, Friend.
SJ Res 6, which would remove the seven year time limit for ratification on the Equal Rights Amendment, currently has [49 co-sponsors] on both sides of the aisle.
If we can force McConnell’s hand to get this bill to the Senate floor, we WILL get the time limit on the ERA removed this year and FINALLY grant all Americans the protections that they deserve.
