People For Member,

The Senate filibuster could create a massive roadblock for one of our
longest-running legislative efforts to ensure equal rights in our country.

The Equal Rights Amendment – after passing almost 50 years ago by Congress
and recently receiving the threshold needed for state ratification – is
now facing fierce right-wing opposition to this commonsense and much
needed measure that would enshrine equal rights into the Constitution.

We need you to act now and declare your support for the ERA!

[ [link removed] ]Sign and send a petition to the Senate urging them not to let the
filibuster get in the way of finally adding the Equal Rights Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution! >>

The biggest hurdle the ERA currently faces is a time limit on ratification
that was placed by the amendment’s opponents. In March of this year, under
the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the House passed a Resolution to
remove the time limit blocking the ERA from being added to the
Constitution. This Resolution is now pending in the Senate.

A bipartisan majority of 52 Senators are on record supporting removing the
time limit. But a Mitch McConnell-led filibuster in the Senate – which
takes the votes of 60 Senators to end – could derail our efforts to secure
a vote on the Senate floor.

We must ensure the ERA will not be stopped by the Senate filibuster.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name today to urge the Senate to eliminate the filibuster so
that the last procedural hurdles to ratification of the ERA are
removed! >>

Thank you for working with us to remind Congress that there should be no
time limit on equality.

In unity,

Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
