From The #Sisters This Week:
Support The ERA:
Flood President Biden’s office and that of Jennifer Klein, head of the White House Gender Policy Council, with emails, letters, and phone calls. Or Click here to send a note: LINK: White House.
Contact your Congressional Representatives and U.S. Senators and ask them to take action to persuade President Biden to do this or to make sure that Congress passes a resolution like the ones Representatives Speier and Maloney sponsored in the last Congress or the one Senator Cardin is now sponsoring.
Write letters to the editor or opinion pieces - and share them. You can also share this piece and the posts of ERA advocates on social media. LINKS
Join groups actively advocating for the ERA - such as Vote Equality, the ERA Coalition, NOW, AAUW, Zonta, and the League of Women Voters.
Ask your State legislatures to pass resolutions like the one in the Illinois General Assembly filed by State Rep Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz. It affirms the ERA and asks the various branches of the national government to take action to do the same.
