RATIFIED is a feature documentary about the 100-year struggle for constitutional gender equality, and it’s an inspiring story of a multi-racial, multi-generational, bi-partisan effort to make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. It’s also a story of how bureaucracy is used to stifle progress, and it takes a close look at the incredible perseverance of women – specifically, the Black women leaders who have taken their rightful place at the front of the movement for gender equality. Our impact campaign will activate 15,000,000 Americans on the issue of gender equality.
Every two years, the ERA-NC Alliance reaches out to EVERY North Carolina candidate running for Congress, the General Assembly and NC Council of State to determine their support for the Equal Rights Amendment. This year our survey is being conducted online, with follow up phone calls and visits to collect as complete a picture of candidates’ support for the ERA as possible before we all cast our votes in November.
A green checkmark means the candidate will co-sponsor and vote for the resolution to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Many candidates also returned comments with their survey.
If the candidates on your ballot haven’t responded yet, ask them to respond to the survey! A request from a voter in their district may be all it takes to spur them to action.

With her soft voice and steely will, Rosalynn Carter was an inspiration and a gentle goad to millions upon millions of girls and women around the world. When asked about events in her lifetime she most regretted, she said,
“My greatest disappointment in all the projects I worked on during the White House years was the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment to be ratified…Why all the controversy and why such difficulty in giving women the protection of the Constitution that should have been theirs long ago?”
