Petition updateRatify the Equal Rights AmendmentWhat if Today's Teens could Meet Yesteryears' Feminists?
The Yellow Roses ERA
2 Oct 2018

Hi,

First, THANK YOU for signing our student initiated, online, ERA Now! petition. https://www.change.org/p/u-s-senate-ratify-the-equal-rights-amendment

Secondly, THANK YOU to the creators, cast and backstage crew of the excellent women's history play "We Did It For You."  The play reveals the stories, sacrifices, struggles and successes of the many, many activist feminists who came before us, women on whose shoulders we now stand.     https://www.wediditforyou.org

The post performance photo shows "We Did It For You" actors such as Alice Paul, Gloria Steinem, Lucy Stone, Sojourner Truth, Fannie Lou Hamer, Billy Jean King and many other American sheroes being thanked and hugged by audience member Julianne, a teen co-founder of The Yellow Roses for the ERA. Julianne, grade 10 student, is hugging character Alice Paul, thanking "Alice" for her leadership in launching in 1923 the national campaign to add women's rights (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA is unfinished business. Women in the U.S. still are not recognized as equals in the Constitution. That causes some people to treat women as second class objects. It's time to change that.

The Yellow Roses actually had a 45 conversation with the real Gloria Steinem during their research into the Equal Rights Amendment. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/gloria-steinem-yellow-roses 

For the past 3 years, The Yellow Roses for the ERA has been lobbying online for passage and ratification of the ERA. The play brought together the past, present and future of women's rights in the U.S.     Have you seen this play? We recommend it highly.

Brava.
