The Equal Rights Amendment states: ā EQUALITY OF RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW SHALL NOT BE DENIED OR ABRIDGED BY THE UNITED STATES OR BY ANY STATE ON ACCOUNT OF S*X.ā
When we uplift the women in the U.S. we uplift all of humanity. Would you like to sustain planet earth for your children and combat climate change? Then help pass ERA!

I do not have equivalent rights to men under the U.S. Constitution, nor do approximately 3.5 billion women on the planet. If we want to have a hope to save humanity, support the passage of ERA in the U.S. How? Contact your lawmakers, spread the word of what is ERA, and why it matters. Pressure the states who have not made this law! Founding ERA NOW member-Staci Shreeve Weller, (great grand daughter of an LDS polygamist in Utah). The ERAās main clause āEquality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of s*x.ā
Many have asked us: How will ERA benefit, the US and all of humanity?
Ā· Honorable Mention in the U.S. Constitution. Women are not named in that contract with their nation, thus have no permanent guaranteed rights therein except the Vote. Males are mentioned 39 times. We don't begrudge them;(they work for their equal rights too)
Ā· Fairness before the courts with case reviews using Strict Scrutiny, not the current Intermediate Scrutiny, less just, or reliable.ļæ½
Ā· Full rights to make important decisions about their own livesļæ½
Equal representation in elected office
Ā· Medical insurance coverage for reproductive healthcareļæ½
Ā· Fair salaries and career advancement opportunitiesļæ½
Ā· Necessary protection from s*x-based violenceļæ½
Ā· Equal treatment by America's institutions of government, banking, insurance, education, medicine, commerce, sports, religion, military, and the law.
Ā· Via ERA passage, women's and girlsā full personhood and rights to self-determination will be guaranteed for the first time. The unreliable 1868, Men-Only 14th Amendment, and weak laws and state constitutions would be substituted for by the sturdier ERA. America's females could then be FREE to be the architect of their own livesā trajectories. Everybody wins with ERA! Males face s*x discrimination too, but females take the brunt. Both s*xes would be freed up to fully contribute to supporting humanity in shifting towards a more ecological civilization. This will nurture creative expression, innovation and bring the planet more into balance. Ultimately the passage of ERA could begin the shift towards healing our living planet, so we can sustain the life of humans and other species on planet Earth. There is much to do, letās work together to uplift all of humanity!
