Photos & Video of the Clothesline Project

May 25, 2019 by Audrey Muck 2 Comments

May 16, 2019 – ERA-NC Alliance members set up a clothesline at the NC General Assembly to show off all the municipalities, counties and organization resolutions – as well as hundreds of petition signatures – in favor of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment. Several of the bill co-sponsors dropped by, and we chatted with many state employees about the fact that women are not formally protected under the US Constitution. So many people believe the amendment was ratified in the ’70’s! Sadly, several members of the NCGA leadership passed us by with a dismissive ‘you don’t need it’ comment, and refused to stop and talk with us. We need to get their attention and hold real conversations about why women in North Carolina and across the country should be in the constitution!
