Friend,

On this date in 1919, the House of Representatives passed a Constitutional amendment to grant women the right to vote. It would later be passed in the Senate and ratified by states in order to become law as the 19th Amendment in August of 1920.

Without the hard work of suffragettes who fought for the 19th Amendment, I could never have become the first woman to represent the Lehigh Valley in Congress. I am proud to serve in the current Congress alongside the most women in history to serve in one Congressional session.

However, we still have work to do to ensure equality under the law for all women, including women of color and LGBTQ+ women.

This March, I joined a bipartisan group in the House to pass legislation that would remove the deadline and clear the way for states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

The ERA would ensure that people are treated equally under the law, regardless of sex.

Now, the Senate also needs to pass its version of the bill to remove the deadline and allow states to finally ratify this crucial amendment.

This is long overdue legislation that would ensure women’s equality in all aspects under the law.

On this historic anniversary, will you join me in asking members of the Senate to remove the deadline and clear the way for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment?

Susan Wild
