Petition updateRatify the Equal Rights AmendmentWhite House Picketing for the ERA invites YOU to sign up for a shift
The Yellow Roses ERA
Dec 1, 2017
Thank you for signing The Yellow Roses' online ERA petition. What's next? Consider this invite from Equal Means Equal: Will you stand with us to stand up for our rights, now? We need your help staffing this 2017-2018 White House vigil! THE SILENT SENTINEL CHALLENGE Beginning on Monday November 13th and continuing until Sunday January 21st from 10am – 6pm, Monday – Saturday women and our allies will take turns standing outside the White House holding vigil for equal rights. We hope you will join us! You can physically take part in this historic demonstration to fight for the ERA by signing up to be one of the Silent Sentinels. CLICK TO BE A SILENT SENTINEL: https://equalmeansequal.org/blog/equal-means-equal-partners-catharsis-mall-honor-silent-sentinels/ Equal Means Equal will provide the materials necessary (posters, costumes, etc.) to recreate the visual image of our Silent Sentinel sisters in suffrage that stood here a century ago. Our goal is to have Silent Sentinels bearing witness every day from 10am to 6pm outside the White House as the original protesters did 100 years ago. Bring a group of women and allies! Sign up for as many shifts as you can. Encourage organizations you know to commit to staffing several shifts per week. Together we can call attention to women’s lack of equality under the law. Bottom line: The time is NOW for ERA. Let’s get this done by whatever means necessary. See you out there! Love and thanks, Natalie, Kamala and the EME Team *Women who participated in suffrage picketing of The White House 100 years ago received "Silent Sentinel" pins to honor their service. The small silver banners are engraved, "Without Extinction is Liberty." The reverse is engraved, "For service in the cause of the freedom of women Presented by the National Woman’s Party."
