Equality Cannot Wait
The 2024 election results were not friendly to women’s equality, and our future status in the country is at stake. Despite having fulfilled the ratification requirements, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has not been published. With just weeks left in office, we are urging President Biden to act and enshrine gender equality in our Constitution by instructing the US Archivist to publish the ERA.
In the United States, women are still not guaranteed equal rights. We have seen the devastating consequences of this reality. Yet, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which will update the US Constitution to protect the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex, can be added to the Constitution with one action. With just months left in office, we are urging President Biden to act to ensure that the ERA is published.
The ERA will protect against the rollback of rights, provide a vital tool for the judicial branch to decide sex discrimination cases, and pave the way for further legislative progress toward sex and gender equality.
It’s imperative that President Biden take urgent action to ensure the process of publishing the Amendment is completed since it has been fully ratified since 2020.

The LWV of the United States is currently transitioning to a centralized membership model. In the future, members will join at the national level and membership will flow down rather than up. For the moment, however, joining at the local level is still the correct method. And donations are always welcome!
