Ep 02: Aarush Santoshi, Generation Ratify Equality Talks: The Official ERA Podcast

Meet the next generation of ERA advocates.  Host Elisa Parker speaks with Aarush Santoshi, Policy Director and youth organizer with Generation Ratify about the movement of millions for sex equality.  Learn how this youth movement is mobilizing to ensure that after 100 years in the making, the ERA will be published as the 28th amedment in the United States of America constituion. Generation Ratify is the youth-led movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and advance gender equality in the United States of America. Our mission is to build a coalition of young people across the country leading an intersectional feminist revolution that empowers and advocates for the full equality of young women and queer people. Hosted by nationally acclaimed radio host and Equal Voices Elisa Parker, Equality Talks bridges the intersections of equality, justice, and social activism to unify as a collective and change the status quo.   Equality Talks focuses on the key facets of equality across all communities, including everything from gender, racial, economic and reproductive justice, to labor, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ rights. Programming for the month of June highlights Generation Ratify speaking about the youth movement for the Equal Rights Amendment, advocates supporting LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and members of the Congressional ERA Caucus speaking about Juneteenth.1 The program is also supported in part with Vox Pod studio and Coalition media partner, Women's eNews, who is launching an ERA segment on their media hub to highlight Equality Talks stories and other Equal Voice | Equal Future content.  Equality Talks officially launches on Thursday, June 1 on http://www.ERACoaltion.org and http://www.EqualVoice.org.  ### The ERA Coalition was founded in 2014 to bring concerted, organized action to the effort to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA Coalition has a sister organization, the Fund for Women's Equality, which promotes public education and outreach on the need for constitutional equality. Composed of more than 290 organizations across the country representing millions of people, the Coalition is a movement of movements focused on overall equality in the United States.   While the effort to amend the constitution to include sex equality began nearly a century ago, our renewed efforts are centered on women of color (African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Latina, and Native American), gender-nonconforming and transgender women and girls, and nonbinary people – those who are most impacted by systemic inequities.   http://www.eracoalition.org | http://www.fundforwomensequality.org

One thought on “Equality Talks Podcast: Aarush Santoshi, Generation Ratify

  1. Great, and we work forwards which work may include new ratifications since we’ve struck out in court and in Congress and at the White House. Biden had the ability with a Dem controlled Congress to ratify all of this in 2021, but failed to act.
