ERA NOW

 

Publication of the ERA would enshrine the following 24 words in the U.S. Constitution: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

The ERA Coalition and Fund for Women’s Equality (ERA Coalition Forward), a diverse coalition of nearly 300 partner organizations across the country, representing 80 million people, is calling on President Biden to publish the Equal Rights Amendment now to give it official constitutional status as the 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

#ERANow calls on outgoing President Biden to publish the Equal Rights Amendment. Once published, the U.S. Constitution will explicitly prohibit sex discrimination, which includes discrimination based on sexuality and gender identity. This would finally put women and queer people in the Constitution, and protect abortion, gender-affirming care, and more. A constitutional amendment is something Donald Trump can't overturn.

An amendment to the Constitution needs passage by two-thirds of Congress and ratification from 38 states. The ERA has met those requirements. Now, we need President Biden to be bold and publish the ERA in his last months in office. The stakes are higher than ever.
