A MESSAGE FROM CYNTHIA HALL, AAUW-PA PRESIDENT:
Tell President Biden: Affirm the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Now
Many don’t realize that gender equality currently is not
protected under our Constitution. While congress
approved the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972, and it
was ratified by the needed number of states in 2020, it
has yet to be published to the Constitution.
By comparison, over 165 countries have gender equality
included in their constitutions-—we should be one of
them. Without the ERA, advances in women’s rights made
over the past few decades are at risk of sliding back.
President Biden has a very short window to instruct the
national archivist to get this done. This is a non-partisan
issue cutting at the core of what our Nation stands for.
Please consider doing one of the following:
Send a postcard to the White House at:
President Biden
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20500
Call the White House at: 202-456-1111, Tuesday through
Thursday 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
