Equality can’t wait another 100 years.

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”
The Equal Rights Amendment of 1923
John,
It’s been over 100 years since the Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in Congress. It took 49 years for the bill to pass both the House and Senate, and another 48 for the 38th state to ratify it.
But women in this country are STILL waiting for equal rights, because the 1972 bill passed by Congress imposed a time limit on getting three-fourths of the states to ratify the language.
Over the last 100 years women have fought hard and won their rights through the courts – the right to divorce, the right to employment, the right to take out a loan, the right to an abortion, and a whole lot more.
But now those rights are being ripped away.
Our society has come a long way in the last 100 years, and I believe it’s time we bring the Equal Rights Amendment into the modern era by guaranteeing liberty and rights for ALL Americans.
A new ERA would provide comprehensive protection against discrimination on the basis of race, gender, gender identity, disabilities, faith, religion, creed, and any other characteristic.
A modern ERA would guarantee due process and fair treatment under the law for EVERYONE. The new ERA should protect every American, regardless of background or identity, from discrimination in housing and employment.
As fundamental freedoms are under assault by a rogue right-wing Court and far-right agitators like my opponent, Lauren Boebert, we need a modern ERA to promote social justice, equality, and inclusivity in every aspect of American life.
In Congress I will fight to pass a new ERA and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to the fundamental principles of fairness, dignity, and equal opportunity for all citizens.
This is a crucial step towards achieving true justice for all Americans, and I hope you will join me in the fight by helping me flip this seat and take back the House majority in November. ([link removed])
