John, this is unacceptable:

It’s 2023 and women still do not have explicit, constitutional protection from discrimination.

The Equal Rights Amendment was passed in 1972, but was never ratified. That’s why I am helping lead the push to remove the arbitrary deadline and move this amendment forward.

There should not be a deadline on equality. Join me in taking a stand by adding your name to my petition to remove this obstacle and ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.

The prerequisite 38 states have officially ratified the ERA, but because of the original deadline, Congress is unable to move forward with ratification. Equality shouldn’t hinge on a technicality.

In the Judiciary Committee, I’ll be holding a hearing on this critical issue and making sure the American people understand what’s at stake. Then, I’ll urge the Senate to take action. Equal rights shouldn’t have to wait any longer. We have the power to do something about it.

Sign my petition: it’s time for Congress to remove the deadline and ratify the ERA >>>

My best,

Dick Durbin
