Featuring keynote speaker Jessica Neuwirth, author of Equal Means Equal

Jessica NeuwirthA decade ago, Jessica Neuwirth’s groundbreaking book, Equal Means Equal, played an important role in the formation of the ERA-NC Alliance. Through her legal work and advocacy, Neuwirth made a powerful case for why the Equal Rights Amendment remains essential to achieving full constitutional equality. In case after case, her book documented the profound need for the ERA.

Rachel Feldman

Please join the ERA-NC Alliance’s candid conversation on the gender pay gap with  Rachel Feldman, director and screenwriter of the film “LILLY.”  LILLY is a powerful dramatic film based on the true story of working-class hero, Lilly Ledbetter, whose fight for equal pay went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. We’ll also discuss bills that would guarantee equal pay currently pending at the N.C. General Assembly.

This is not a screening of “LILLY.”  You can prepare for this event by learning more about the film at www.lillymovie.com. You can rent or buy LILLY on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and other streaming sites.

New bills affirm 28th Amendment to U.S. Constitution, urge N.C. to ratify ERA

North Carolina Rep. Julie von Haefen and Sen. Natalie Murdock introduced bills affirming the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment and urging North Carolina to become the 39th state to ratify.

The ERA was fully ratified in January 2020, and has been affirmed as the 28th Amendment by the American Bar Association and respected constitutional scholars.

Rep Julie von Haefen“I am proud to be the primary House sponsor of this bill for the fourth consecutive session,” said Rep. von Haefen. “Some people may ask why our state still needs to pass a bill regarding the ERA after Virginia became the final state necessary for ratification in 2020.

RATIFIED Screenings

by Leave a Comment

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.
