Decades of piecemeal legislation have not brought women equal justice under the law. Only the Equal Rights Amendment can do that.    Good News!  Illinois, ratified the Equal Rights Amendment!   Now what, you ask?  

If you are in Illinois, first urge our Illinois congressional delegation members to sign on to #SJR4 and #HJR? to affirm that the Equal Rights Amendment is fully ratified.  Meanwhile, the Illinois Attorney General continues to fight in court to ensure the Equal Rights Amendment is affirmed.  Thank you Kwame Raoul!  

Cheers to Rep. Jennifer Gong Gershowitz for introducing HJR1 in the Illinois General Assembly, which calls on President Biden to publish the ERA and Congress to affirm the ERA as fully ratified.  Is your state representative a co-sponsor yet?  Check the Illinois General Assembly website.

​
If you live outside of Illinois,  all eyes are on Utah, Arizona, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Missouri, Louisiana, and Georgia to continue ratification for all 50 states.

Check out our Toolkit and ERA Syllabus.  Onward!
