Equal Rights Amendment

@ERANowAPI Thank you so kindly! So glad we got it done. Now let's go flip the White House and Senate to stop the intransience and get it done-done.

Happy birthday to Virginia Del. Danica Roem! @pwcdanica was the first openly transgender person to be elected and serve in any U.S. state legislator, and was such a passionate supporter of Virginia’s ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment that she got it tattooed on her arm!

@AlicePaulInstit ED Lucy Beard, is retiring. Help us honor all that she's done for #ERANow by donating here. We want to see the ERA become the 28th Amendment, so show your support by donating 28 in whatever way you can & share with hashtag #28forthe28th. …paul-institute-inc.networkforgood.com/projects/66530…

@Newsweek: "History suggests that once discriminatory barriers begin to fall, legal equality (which is very different from real-world equality) usually follows." This article is part of this week's ERA newsletter. Visit EqualRightsAmendment.org to subscribe newsday.com/opinion/commen…

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Black cis women typically earn $0.62 cents for every dollar that a non-Hispanic white cis man makes, making TODAY the day a black woman would have to work until to earn the same as a white man earned in 2019. #ERANow #PayEquality #PayBlackWomen

Happy birthday Pres @barackobama. Obama’s first act as president was to sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which strengthens workers’ protections in pay discrimination. His Exec. Dir. Tina Tchen also publicly supported ERA ratification in 2011 in the name of the Obama Admin.

Happy Birthday Amelia Earhart! Earhart was a record-breaking pilot and author, becoming the first female aviator to navigate a solo flight across the Atlantic. She was also an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment, and was a member of the National Woman's Party.

Happy birthday to Rep. Bella Abzug, who would have turned 100 today. Battling Bella introduced the Equality Act into Congress in 1974 and was part of a group of women to found the National Women’s Political Caucus. Abzug was also a pivotal part in the 2020 series ‘Mrs. America’
