The Equal Rights Amendment, first proposed in 1923, is still not part of the U.S. Constitution.
The ERA has been ratified by 35 of the necessary 38 states. When three more states vote yes, the ERA might become the 28th Amendment.
In these pages, find out about this historic amendment ... and join the effort to achieve equal rights for women and men.

life and work of Alice Paul, author of the Equal Rights Amendment.

The
National Council of Women's Organizations
is a Washington, DC-based nonpartisan network of more
than 200 women's organizations, representing more
than 10 million members. It was established in 1982
in response to the expiration of the deadline for ERA ratification. The
NCWO's ERA Task Force was
established in 1999.
The "three-state strategy" for ERA ratification was developed through the efforts of the ERA Summit, a volunteer coalition organized in 1991. Current information about ERA campaigns in the unratified states can be found on the website of the ERA Campaign Network.
