A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************
As an advocate for gender equity and justice, I was excited to celebrate
the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Virginia this
Wednesday. This victory shows the increasing national momentum for the
adoption of a constitutional amendment that protects all people from
discrimination on the basis of sex.

But before the ERA can be added to the Constitution, we have to overcome
the hurdle of the outdated ratification deadline that was included in the
federal ERA legislation passed more than 40 years ago. The good news is
that the legislation has been introduced in this Congress and Speaker
Pelosi has already indicated that she is committed to moving the bill!

Let’s make sure members of Congress make it a priority.

Resolution 79 – let’s support the ERA!>>

By adding your name to the coalition of support that has called for
Congress to extend the deadline for ratification to allow for enrollment
of the Amendment, you’ll be holding your elected officials to the promise
that every person deserves to have an equal opportunity to work, study,
live, and thrive free from sex-based discrimination.

The amazing accomplishment in Virginia would not be possible without
activists and advocates like you across the country, but we still have
crucial work to do together to make sure this amendment is written into
the constitution.
