Tell Congress—it’s time for the Equal Rights Amendment

US Congress:

Current and future generations of Americans are depending on Congress to make final ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment a reality! Support for H. J. Res. 79, that extends the ratification deadline demonstrates support for the ERA. I hope I can count on you to support the ERA—equality can't wait!

On January 15, the Virginia legislature passed the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which guarantees equal rights and freedom from discrimination to all Americans on the basis of sex. This victory shows the increasing momentum for adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Sign our petition to Congress emphasizing how important the ERA is for advancing and protecting gender equity. There is current legislation in Congress to remove the deadline and allow for the Amendment’s adoption—together we can ensure that the ERA is written into the Constitution and that all Americans are protected from discrimination on the basis of sex.
