This site, www.equalrightsamendment.org provides up-to-date information on what is happening and how we can get past the 1982 deadline. It reads in part:
ERA advocates are pursuing two different routes to ratification:
- the traditional process outlined in Article V of the Constitution, requiring passage by a two-thirds majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives, followed by ratification by legislatures in three-quarters (38) of the 50 states, and
- ratification in three more of the 15 state legislatures that did not ratify the ERA during the 1972-82 ratification campaign, based on legal analysis that when three more states vote yes, this non-traditional process could withstand legal challenge and put the ERA into the Constitution.
Getting the ERA fully ratified has been a struggle. There’s no question that the current Republican Congress will fight us on this. Keep in mind, Alice Paul—the author of the ERA—fought to make sure women have the right to vote. She and many other women went to prison so women can have a voice in democracy. All you have to do is post this and share with your friends and family and make some calls.
Hurry, we only have a short period of time to put the pressure on!!!
ONWARD!
