Senate Republicans wasted no time in introducing bills to restrict abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade . If the Republicans control the federal government, abortion could be banned everywhere — even in states where abortion is already guaranteed like California, New York, and District Of Columbia!
Making the Equal Rights Amendment the 28th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution will help stop abortion bans like the one Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced last month. (Not to mention it will ensure equality in so many other ways too!)
Please John, tell , and Majority Leader Senator Schumer, that you want a floor vote on the ERA. [[link removed]]

➡️ Then tweet at them! [[link removed]] Your senators, , and Majority Leader Schumer at @SenSchumer [[link removed]] need to hear from all of us! #CertifyTheERANow [[link removed]] .
We need the ERA now more than ever to provide a basic guarantee in the Constitution against sex-based discrimination to stop the denial of rights for women and the LGBTQ+ community. Attacks on gender equality are happening every day.
The House of Representatives has voted — TWICE — to remove the deadline on the ERA in order to further advance it. Now, 188 House members have co-sponsored House Res.891, which states the ERA has been ratified and is already a valid part of the Constitution.
Meanwhile, the Senate has yet to act for the ERA. It is well past time for the Senate to act. [[link removed]] The public must see that Republican Senators are blocking an ERA floor vote with the use of the filibuster.
Take Action Now → [[link removed]]
We need to flood senators’ inboxes with messages urging them to vote on the ERA right away. There is no time limit on equality. Your email to the senators makes it clear that they need to act.
An overwhelming majority of U.S. adults support Congress adding the ERA to the Constitution, and since the House of Representatives has now voted twice, it is high time for the Senate to act.
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.
Email them [[link removed]] , then call them, and then tweet at them [[link removed]] ! We must keep up the pressure and with more than 36,500 emails sent by thousands like you, it is working!
We must have a Senate floor vote so the public will know that Republican Senators are standing in the way of these words being enshrined in the Constitution:
“Equality rights under the law should not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.”
For equality,
Eleanor Smeal, President
