Action Alert:
The Green Party calls on President Biden to confirm and publish the Equal Rights Amendment in the US Constitution!
Please join us in our demand for the ERA!
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is the duly ratified 28th Constitutional Amendment that guarantees equal rights to all people regardless of sex.
The ERA might be our last chance to protect abortion rights before Trump takes office.
The constitutional requirements have already been met:
• The US House approved the ERA in 1971 with a bipartisan vote of 354–24. The Senate approved it in 1972 by another bipartisan vote of 84-8.
• Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA in January 2020, which means that 3/4 of all the states have ratified it.
So why isn’t the ERA in the Constitution now? Because Trump blocked it.
Biden can unblock it. He can do so now in his remaining time in the White House.
Extending protections under the ERA is the most important thing Biden can do right now.
The ERA has widespread support among registered Democrats and Republicans. The Green Party of the US endorses the ERA in its platform: “We support the equal application of the Constitution of the United States of America to all citizens, and therefore call for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).” (https://www.gp.org/social_justice#womens-rights)
Please Write, Text, Email or Call the President Now! Here’s a sample Message/Letter:
Dear President Biden,
ArtII.S3.3.1 requires you to ensure the National Archivist publishes fully ratified amendments to the US Constitution. Please do not leave office before you direct her to add the fully ratified 28th Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), into the US Constitution, where it belongs.
As you know, the ERA ensures equality for all genders, equal pay, reproductive rights and marriage equality.
There is a national outcry for you to save our basic equality and human rights. Project 2025 will roll back these rights even further unless you act now.
Congress and the states have spoken. The People of the USA have spoken. 85% of Americans still want the ERA.
Please publish the ERA immediately.
