ERA Coalition Announces First Slate of Federal Candidates with ERA Certification Stamp of Approval
Today, the ERA Coalition announced the first slate of federal candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate who have been awarded the ERA Certification Stamp of Approval. Earlier this year, the ERA Coalition launched Elect Equality, a new campaign to provide voters with the opportunity to hear directly from candidates across the country about their position on the Equal Rights Amendment.
The ERA as an economic opportunity equalizer
The Equal Rights Amendment would provide both an outlet for such representation and protection as well as the explicit assurance that women of all groups would be owed what their male counterparts are already receiving.
Founding Mothers
It is no doubt that these phenomenal women had an incredible impact on the shape and form of this country. Remember them throughout the year as you continue your work towards deeper, more explicit equality, and know that still today there are powerful women both on the frontlines of movements and behind the scenes of great causes, working towards a better future for all.

ERA Coalition Statement Praising the New York State Legislature for Passing Inclusive State Equal Rights Amendment
“Even as the basic human rights of discrimination protections and access to abortion are being eroded or openly repealed in states across the country, the New York state legislature took bold and decisive action to ensure everyone will be treated equally under the law in the Empire State. The ERA Coalition applauds the legislature for taking action on such critical issues at a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. Amending the NY State Constitution with an inclusive version of the Equal Rights Amendment should set the gold standard for equality across the nation.”
