ERA in the News: Nov 9-15, 2019

The news keeps coming for the Equal Rights Amendment picks up steam yet again, following a landslide victory in Virginia elections last week.

On Wednesday, November 13th the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary advanced HJ Res 79. This is a big deal. If this bill is passed in both the House and the Senate, it remove the deadline from the 1972 ERA. This bill now moves on to the House for the next step in this legislative process, and we can all begin to put pressure on our Senators in Congress to sign on as co-sponsors of the Senate version of the bill - SJ Res 6.

Note: The bill has a new number, HJ Res 79, but you may recognize the bill as HJ Res 38, which was introduced by Rep. Speier, Jackie [D-CA 14) on January 30, 2019.

For more information, check out our National news section, which features several updates on HJ Res 79.

We want to say "Hello! Welcome!" to the 100 new newsletter recipients this week. Thanks for signing up to receive this newsletter. We're so glad to have you as an ERA-advocate!

Lastly, in case you missed last week's newsletter, we added a fun pop-up to message on www.EqualRightsAmendment.org to invite newcomers to sign up for this newsletter. Please share the website with your family, friends, and networks to help this newsletter readership grow.

ERA in the News: November 1-8, 2019

This past week has been so full of fabulous news! Where to start first?

Firstly, let us all take a moment to loudly applaud the efforts of the thousands of individuals who helped the VA Ratify ERA work in Virginia ....(hold on, we're still clapping!) The election on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, not only saw a phenomenal number of women running for office across the country, it also resulted in a momentous shift in the Virginia statehouse where a significant number of pro-ERA candidates were elected to both the General Assembly and the state Senate . (....still clapping!!!!!)

We'd like to thank everyone on the ground in Virginia, everyone in and outside of Virginia who made a donation in support of the fight, everyone who posted on social media, everyone who wrote officials in the state, mailed postcards, and everyone else who helped in countless ways to support Virginia's ability to move the ERA one step closer to ratification to the U.S. Constitution. Alice Paul, who wrote the ERA in 1923, would be so very pleased.

On a phone call with the ERA Coalition after the election, we learned that the Virginia General Assembly could bring the Equal Rights Amendment to the floor for a ratification vote as early as the first 1-2 weeks of the session, which opens on January 8, 2020. There are many moving parts, and many unknowns as this moment, but please stay tuned to this newsletter for updates. We'll be sharing information as soon as it becomes known.

We have also learned from the ERA Coalition that next week, on Wednesday, November 13th at 10am, the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary will hold a mark-up on the bill to remove the deadline from the 1972 ERA. Click HERE to read the official announcement of the hearing. This is huge news!! The bill has a new number, HJ Res 79, but you may recognize the bill as HJ Res 38, which was introduced by Rep. Speier, Jackie [D-CA 14) on January 30, 2019.

Want to learn more about this bill? Watch the fabulous C-SPAN recording of the hearing on the bill from April 30, 2019. This was the first hearing on the ERA held on Capitol Hill in 36 years. It is definitely worth your time to watch.

Lastly, we did a big update to the website - www.EqualRightsAmendment.org - this past week, and added more items to the #ERAToolkit. Head over to check it out, and download and share the toolkit items. You'll also see that we have added a fun pop-up to the website to invite newcomers to sign up for this newsletter. Please share the website with your family, friends, and networks to help this newsletter readership grow. More updates will be made weekly, so keep checking and sharing the website.

Hello all,

We're keeping a close eye on Virginia as the November elections inch closer and closer. We're hoping for more pro-ERA officials to be elected to state office there.

Learn how you can support the work that VA Ratify ERA is doing to advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment. They have plenty of opportunities to help with the campaign, even if you aren't local or from the state.

Also, were sending a shout-out to the town council of Fountain Hills, Arizona and Mayor Ginny Dickey, who voted this week - unanimously(!) - in favor of a resolution to support the Equal Rights Amendment! ERA Advocates on the ground in Arizona are doing amazing work mobilizing their local municipalities to pass pro-ERA resolutions, all within the larger effort to get the state legislature to support the ERA. Excellent news and congratulations to everyone working for #ERAyesAZ.

States in green are where the ERA was in the news.

Hello all,

Virginia continues to stay laser-focused on the Equal Rights Amendment, as their November election is just one month away. Many of the local politicians are supporting the Equal Rights Amendment in their campaigns, and our friends at VA Ratify ERA are looking for all the support they can get in this last month. 

The National Museum of American Jewish History-- just a stone's throw from our home at the Alice Paul Institute-- is debuting their Ruth Bader Ginsburg exhibit, 'Notorious RBG.' Find out more about the exhibit here

States in green are where the ERA was in the news this week!

It's been an exciting week in New Jersey, as the Democratic congressional representatives came out in support of HJ-Res 38 which, when passed, will remove the original ERA deadline assigned to the ERA in 1977. As of today, all but one Democratic congressperson has signed on in support of the bill..

ERA support is also continuing to grow in Florida and Arizona, as individual cities and towns are making public statements promoting the ERA. In Virginia, groups are mobilizing to vote pro-ERA officials into the state house (the ERA failed to advance toward ratification in Virginia in February 2019, losing by one vote!).

It's an exciting week for the Equal Rights Amendment and Alice Paul, as the state of New Jersey has named Jan. 11-- Alice's birthday-- Alice Paul Day in that state. We're already looking forward to celebrating this winter. 

News has been steady this week across many states, including news out of Alaska as Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-AK) team put out a press release in support of removing the ERA deadline alongside other senators. Read more about that in the news below. 

If you've seen the recent photos from our ERA Day celebration and are wondering where you can get the t-shirt many guests were wearing, please check out our Bonfire account. Your shirt will ship straight from Bonfire to your door. We love them and hope to see more people rocking their ERA gear!

The dynamic panel of ERA Day, (left to right), Linda Wharton J.D., Professor of Political Science at Stockton University; Bettina Hager, COO & DC Director, ERA Coalition; Laura Dunn, Esq., attorney and Founder of SurvJustice; and moderator Roberta Francis, founder of www.EqualRightsAmendment.org.

Paulsdale's inaugural ERA Day was a great success, thanks to the support of our generous sponsors and the participation of friends like you! On June 30th, we reclaimed the day that, in 1982, the ERA failed to ratify. Over 150 people attended ERA Day. The event raised just over $3,000 to support our continued ERA advocacy and educational efforts led by API's Advocacy Committee, who hosted the event.

The highlight of the event was the enlightening panel discussion on the ERA led by leaders in the fight for ratification. Moderated by long-time activist Roberta Francis, the panel included Linda Wharton, J.D., of Stockton University, Bettina Hager of the ERA Coalition, and Laura Dunn, Esq., of SurvJustice. The panel discussion was recorded via Facebook Live, and can be watched by clicking here!

The success of ERA Day demonstrates that support for the ERA remains strong and continues to grow. API extends a big "Thank You!" to the event attendees, panel participants, vendors, organization and event sponsors.
