The 2024 election results were not friendly to women’s equality. Yet there is something you can do today and in the days ahead — to advocate for our future status in this country. We encourage you to join League of Women Voters members and other women and men throughout our nation in taking these two immediate actions to advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment ERA.
1. Sign the LWV US Petition urging President Biden to publish the ERA.
2. Contact the White House to express your support for the ERA. White House phone comments: 202-456-1111 (Tues-Thur10am-2pm) The text number is 302-404-0880. Simply express your support for equal rights for everyone in this nation regardless of sex or gender. You can reiterate your support by contacting the White House daily.
Background: The Equal Rights Amendment can be added to the Constitution with one action by President Biden. With just months left in office, President Biden can act to ensure the ERA is published. The ERA will protect against the rollback of rights and pave the way for further legislative progress toward sex and gender equality. It has now passed the requisite number of states for it to become a Constitutional Amendment. It has been 101 years since the first ERA amendment was first introduced in Congress by Alice Paul.
