Women’s (IN)Equality Day

by 5 Comments

Women's (IN)Equality DayAugust 26th is typically when we commemorate the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That was the date it was formally published to the Bill of Rights in 1920. However, we recognize that simply achieving the right to vote was not enough to ensure that women have equal protection under the Constitution. The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1923, and is still not part of the Bill of Rights, even after Virginia became the 38th and final necessary state to ratify in January, 2020. That’s why we’re calling this August 26th Women’s (IN)Equality Day!

Several members of the ERA-NC Alliance attended the ongoing protest at the U.S. Department of Justice to encourage Attorney General Merrick Garland to remove former AG Bill Barr’s memo blocking the national archivist from publishing the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Here are a few photos from our days standing sentinel at the DOJ:

ERA-NC Alliance to stand vigil June 29-30 in D.C.
to protest AG Garland’s inaction on women’s rights

Washington, D.C. — Frustrated by Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Joe Biden’s inaction on the long-awaited Equal Rights Amendment, members of the ERA-NC Alliance will stand vigil June 29 and 30 as Silent Sentinels outside the Department of Justice in protest. National organizers Equal Means Equal, which began the vigil June 10, have vowed to continue until Garland and Biden act on the ERA. Advocates nationwide have joined the vigil.

Garland has failed to order National Archivist David Ferriero to accept Virginia’s ratification of the ERA and to publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Women’s History Month

by 2 Comments

March is Women’s History Month – or as we like to call it, Women’s Herstory Month. This year, 100+ years after women won the right to vote, the ERA-NC Alliance is hopeful to finally see the ERA published as the 28th Amendment. And it took a lot of women, and men, many years to make this happen. In honor of Women’s Herstory Month, the Alliance would like to honor those N.C. women who made a difference in YOUR life – whether as an equality warrior or a teacher or an activist or even your BFF – whoever they are, you want the world to know they made a positive difference in your life. We plan to post their photos – or their names – on our Facebook, Instagram and right here on our website throughout March for a small donation. Suggested donation is $28 in honor of the 28th Amendment. Your donation will fund our efforts towards ratification in NC.
