End the deadline!

Virginia was the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, but because of an artificial deadline imposed by Congress nearly 20 years ago, the ERA is not yet part of the US Constitution.

There’s a two pronged attack on this deadline:

• Get the Senate to lift the deadline as the US House has already done. Write to Senators Burr and Tillis to tell them this July 4 should be Independence from Discrimination Day for Women!
• Work through the judicial system to remove the deadline. More about the legal battles.

Watch for updates on this issue that’s long been on the AAUW agenda.
