We continue to do what we can to finally have the #EqualRightsAmendment published as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We recently joined a letter with 142 other organizations calling on President Biden to instruct the U.S. Archivist to publish the #ERA immediately to protect fundamental rights from imminent threats. Thank you to our friends at the League of Women Voters and Shattering Glass, Inc. for leading the project. Fellow signatories include gender and racial justice organizations, reproductive justice organizations and abortion funds, democracy and voting focused organizations, medical, legal, and other professional associations, faith leaders and more from across the country.
