Urge President Biden to Certify the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment
The Issue
We are calling on President Joe Biden to direct the Archivist of the United States to certify and publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment. This historic move will secure gender equality under the law, providing protection against discrimination for all Americans, regardless of gender. Sign this petition to show your support for this essential step towards gender equality enshrined in our Constitution!
Women have been fighting for equal rights for decades. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was proposed in the 1920s and passed by the U.S. Congress in 1972. However, it has yet to become an official amendment to the U.S. Constitution due to the fact that it was not ratified by enough states by the deadline set in its proposing clause. In recent years, this changed, and as of 2020, it has indeed been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of states, according to the National Organization for Women.
