WORKING FOR WOMAN EQUALITY FROM STREETS TO THE LEGISLATURE
The new reality of 2021 demands immediate action on
the ERA. With women’s and human rights in peril globally and abortion rights on
the line right here at home, our time to act is now.
It’s up to us to ensure the Equal Rights Amendment
makes it over the finish line; we have to keep the pressure on.
Our supporters have already taken more than 75,000
collective actions to ensure the ERA is at long last added to the U.S. Constitution.
With your help, we have already:
|
Directed nearly
35,000 messages to Senate offices across the country urging an end to the
filibuster and action on the ERA. |
|
|
Targeted nearly
20,000 messages to Majority Leader Schumer, respectfully urging an end to the
filibuster to clear the way for the ERA. |
|
|
Attempted to
hand-deliver 15,000 letters and postcards to Senator Sinema’s office in
Arizona and orchestrated a public Twitter campaign to get her attention. She
is one of the few senators who hang in the balance of making or breaking an
end to the filibuster to clear the way for constitutional rights for women
and voting rights for all Americans. |
|
|
Directed an
additional 6,700 messages to Senator Manchin’s office in West Virginia,
another key Senator obstructing the elimination of the filibuster. |
|
|
Rallied in front
of the Supreme Court of the United States on Women’s Equality Day with scores
of allies to publicly urge the removal of the arbitrary timeline placed in
the preamble of the Equal Rights Amendment. |
We are pulling out all the stops with our efforts,
and we simply cannot afford to let up momentum. Let’s send our message loud and
clear.
This Labor Day, and beyond, we’ll be working to
ensure that these twenty-four words — Equality of rights under the
law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on
account of sex — are at long last put in the U.S. Constitution.
For equality,
FEMINIST MAYORITY
