In the United States, women are still not guaranteed equal rights. We have seen the devastating consequences of this reality. Yet, the ERA, which will update the US Constitution to protect the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex, has been fully ratified since 2020 and can be added to the Constitution with one action.
The ERA will protect against the rollback of rights, provide a vital tool for the judicial branch to decide sex discrimination cases, and pave the way for further legislative progress toward sex and gender equality.
Urge President Biden to instruct the US Archivist to certify and publish the ERA in the Constitution! Equality cannot wait.
