Publish the ERA!

ERA-NC Alliance Board Member, Adrienne Spinner, along with her daughter, Vivienne, urge President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris to certify the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Here’s some background information on the #PublishERA campaign from Equal Means Equal:

“Equal Means Equal is launching a campaign to make ERA a reality next year by posting a video daily directed at the incoming administration with the same message: Direct the Archivist to Publish ERA on January 27th of 2021. As a valued friend of the ERA we would love you to join us in this campaign by creating a video on behalf of your organization and allowing us to post it as part of the overall project.

If you would like to join us, please make the following video statement at your earliest convenience using the following language:

Congratulations to the new Biden/Harris administration! I’m [__name and title__________]

On behalf of __constituency, group, org, family, individual__________ we/I call on President-elect Biden to declare his commitment to the full constitutional equality of women and all persons by promising to direct the Archivist of the United States to publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution on January 27th of 2021.

American women have fought for two hundred and forty-four years for equality.  Over the past four years, we have succeeded in completing ratification of ERA. We have worked hard for you to be able to now take the reins.  We urge you not to ask us to wait a moment longer for our hard-won equal rights.

On January 27th, please thank the women of America for their support by announcing the publication of the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and finally legalizing our equality.

Feel free to personalize your video, just make sure the main point remains clear.  Once the campaign launches, we would appreciate your help amplifying the message by picking up the daily videos from our slack channel and posting them on all your social media channels. We will be doing this every day. Until they #PublishERA.  We hope you will consider doing so as well.”
