WHEN WILL THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT BE IMPLEMENTED?
Virtual
Holly Joseph, CWI (and MCMDNOW) Treasurer, will introduce this urgent and most fundamental subject of “the Rights of Woman” in our own country – these United States – in our own times. This is a discussion of women’s voices being heard, with the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) being the prime focus. Speakers include Eleanor Smeal and Nicole Vorrasi Bates,Esq.
We ask that all of us reflect on when we were struck with the realization that girls/women were not equal with boys/men. For us feminists, the question is the following: “What are we going to do about it?” Achieving the enactment of the Equal Rights Amendment – to establish gender equality in our country’s governing document – will unquestionably strengthen our democracy.
