Over 100 years ago, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was first introduced in the US Congress. Despite having fulfilled the ratification requirements, the ERA has still not been published. With just weeks left in office, we are urging President Biden to enshrine gender equality in our Constitution by instructing the US Archivist to publish the ERA.
Email our leaders in Washington to put pressure on President Biden to publish the ERA.
We urge our readers to contact federal and state leadership to pressure President Biden to publish the ERA to ensure that the protection it affords women is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution before he leaves office.

Suggested Message: Publish the ERA NOW
This is a five-alarm fire. The election results have shown us that we cannot wait for Congress—this moment demands immediate action. The President has both the legal authority under the U.S. Supreme Court's broad construction of Article II of the Constitution and the responsibility to publish the already-ratified Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) now.
This is for 51% of the people in the United States. It’s for your mother, wife, daughter, and all the women in your lives and in ours.
We cannot go back 120 years, leaving women without protections under the 14th Amendment. Without the ERA and with the impending Project 2025, the rights of women will be dangerously eroded. The President has nothing to lose and everything to gain by securing this critical amendment.
