On this International Women’s Day, the momentum behind efforts to advance gender justice is growing.
Last month, Representative Ayanna Pressley co-led a historic resolution to affirm the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and finally enshrine gender equality in our Constitution.
Then last week, the U.S. Senate held its first ERA hearing in 40 years.
Now, we need to keep up the pressure on Congress to pass Ayanna’s resolution and ensure the Constitution affirms that women are equal in the eyes of the law.
The Equal Rights Amendment would give women — in every community across the country — an essential tool to combat the discrimination and violence — from pay and pregnancy discrimination to sexual and domestic violence.
38 states have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, but because of an arbitrary deadline established in the 1970s, it hasn’t been added to the Constitution.
There’s no time limit on equality. That’s why Ayanna’s resolution would remove the deadline for ratification and pave the way for the ERA to take its rightful place as part of the Constitution.
In solidarity,
Team Ayanna & Team AOC
