As we work towards achieving gender equality, we must take concrete steps to support the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). To help in this effort, we have put together a checklist of action items that can make a real difference in advancing women's rights. We encourage you to review these action items and consider how you can contribute to the cause. Let's work together to ensure that all individuals, regardless of gender, have equal rights and opportunities under the law.

 Use our One Click Politics widget to tell your members of Congress to support SJ Res 4 and HJ Res 25 to remove the arbitrary deadline on the ERA

QReview the Republican Cosponsor/Discharge Petition Targets. lf you reside in the states of Representative on these lists or have organizational members, family or friends who do, please reach out to them

OThe Discharge Petition for H.3. Res. 25 will move the bill out of committee without action by the committee chair onto the House floor for a vote. It needs 218 signatures, as oL176/24, 203 blouse members had signed the Petition. We are 15 signatures away from getting the bill to the floor. Adding seven or eight of these Representatives shouldn’t be that hard, but they need to know that our ERA advocates are watching: Discharge Petition Outreach list of  current cosponsors.
