Tomorrow afternoon, the Senate will leave Washington and they won’t be back until October 11th. So, while there is no time limit on equality, we are running out of time this week.

So far, thousands of ERA supporters have sent more than 20,500 emails to the Senate demanding a floor vote on the ERA. Plus hundreds of phone calls and tweets!

I’m here to tell you that IT IS WORKING. Our contacts on the Hill are saying there is ‘buzz’. We can’t let up.

If we keep up the pressure, we can get a floor vote on the ERA and get the Republicans on record.

ALT TEXT

They want to ban abortion in every state in this country — even in District Of Columbia! We need the ERA more than ever before.

The House has voted twice on lifting the time limit on the ERA, but the Senate has yet to act for the ERA. Demand action NOW!

We can do this!

John, we need to turn up the pressure and DEMAND a floor vote on the Equal Rights Amendment before the midterm elections! Senators are about to head back to their home states for a short recess, we need you to take action for the ERA now!

Our friends in Senate offices are hearing from thousands of ERA Supporters. Let them hear from you too! It only takes a minute to make sure your Senator(s) and Senate Majority Leader Schumer hear your voice on the ERA. Our voices deserve to be heard, email them today!

1. Email Them

There is still time to send , and Senate Majority Leader Schumer an email telling them you support a floor vote on the ERA before the midterm elections. It’s very easy to do — it only takes three clicks!

 

2. Call Them

Call their Offices and leave a message! Did you know that you can talk to someone in their office or leave a message for them? Whichever you prefer, make your voice heard! Here is a script you can follow when you call and the office numbers to call are below.

“Hello, my name is John xxxxxx and I live in Washington, DC. It is long past time for the Senate to take action on the Equal Rights Amendment. I am calling to urge the Senator’s support of a floor vote on the ERA before the midterm elections. Thank you.”

You can call . Senate Majority Leader Schumer should also hear from you, call him at (202) 224-6542.

 

3. Tweet @ Them

If you’re on Twitter, tweet at Senate Majority Leader Schumer @SenSchumer and your Senator(s), to demand a floor vote on the ERA before the midterm elections.

 

The ERA is needed more than ever. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is not the only one that is talking about a nationwide ban on abortion access, if they win the midterm elections.

We MUST get the Senate on record — before the midterms! Voters must see that Republicans are blocking a vote on the ERA through filibuster challenges. We owe it to ourselves and all future generations — we must add the ERA to the Constitution to protect and eliminate persistent gender discrimination. The ERA will prevent the denial of rights based on sex discrimination.

¡Si se puede!
