Equal Rights Amendment Briefing and Lobby Visit

There is no protection against gender discrimination in the U.S. Constitution without a ratified Equal Rights Amendment.

92% of Americans polled believe there should be gender equality in the Constitution, and 72% believe it is already in place.

Contrary to popular belief, the Equal Rights Amendment, passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress, with bipartisan support, in 1972, was never fully ratified by the states. 35 of the required 38 states have ratified. Without a ratified Equal Rights Amendment, the U. S. Supreme Court has refused to hear cases regarding gender discrimination.

Join Us on Monday, January 23rd for an update on where we currently stand on ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.
