Now, it's time for Congress to act and ratify the ERA as the law of the land. You can do your part by instantly adding your name to stand with Mad in the fight for gender equality.

I’ll get straight to the point, because this is important: It’s long past time to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). As legislators, we have a responsibility to enshrine gender equality in our Constitution – to put women in our Constitution. That’s why I am an original cosponsor to ratify ERA.

This Women’s History Month, will you add your name to mine in support of the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment?

ADD YOUR NAME

Believe it or not, we’ve been waiting for ratification of the ERA for more than 50 years. I know civics class is in the past for many of us, but let me remind you of the requirements for a constitutional amendment:

1️⃣ Must be approved by two-thirds of Congress – the ERA passed this step in 1971.

2️⃣ Two-thirds of states (38) must ratify – Virginia became the 38th state to ratify in January 2020.

Last week I told you about my littlest, biggest inspirations – my grandchildren. I want them to grow up in a world where equal rights are the standard, and I imagine you want the same for your loved ones, too. If so, you can add your name here and stand with me to finally ratify the ERA.

Thanks for all that you do.
