Our General Assembly ratified the Equal Rights Amendment yesterday in a historic vote for our Commonwealth. Victories like these are exactly what happens when Democrats win on Election Day.

Listening to our leaders speak on the floor of the House and Senate today was inspiring, educational, and emotional for me. Seeing Democrats in the General Assembly take the reins of history and ratify this essential amendment makes me unbelievably proud to be a Virginian and a woman. After so much hard work, Virginia is playing a major role in affirming our shared values of fairness and equality.

I wanted to thank you for playing your part in getting us here. I know that this wouldn't have happened if you all didn't go knock on doors, make those phone calls, and most importantly, go vote last November.

The ERA was ratified on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, January 15th. That brings to mind one of my favorite quotes by Dr. King: "The time is always right to do what is right."

Yesterday, Virginia did the right thing. Join me in thanking the members of our General Assembly by adding your name to this card.
