In January of 2020, the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified by Virginia, the final state needed for the ERA to be the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution. In January of 2025, President Biden declared the ERA the "law of the land." However, the ERA has yet to be implemented as part of the Constitution. Meanwhile, over half the states include "mini ERAs" in their own state constitutions, with more being added each year. This webinar will address legal and advocacy efforts to realize federal and state ERAs. The Equal Rights Amendment is the single most important means of protecting women's rights, and the rights of all Americans, to be free from government-based sex discrimination.
