WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have been urging President Biden to publish the Equal Rights Amendment to, among, other things, stop the horrors of Project 2025. Tragically, the 2024 election results of the 2024 elections have ensured that a national abortion ban will be instituted by the new Trump Administration's immediate enforcement of the Comstock Act. Even worse, we will be defenseless as SCOTUS soon strips women, girls and LGBTQIA+ people of 14th Amendment equal protection of the laws. We know what's coming and must fight now! President Biden must publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment within the next six weeks.

Thank you, Raina Lipsitz and The Conversationalist for this truthful and courageous article. Project 2025 already is being implimented in state legislatures and courts across the country. Regardless of the outcome of the 2024 elections, SCOTUS will likely institute a national abortion ban as well as strip women of 14th Amendment equal protection. That is precisely why, last month, the American Bar Association, urged President Biden and Vice President Harris to publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment immediately.

Today, the American Bar Association declared that the Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment to the Constitution and called for its immediate publication and implementation. The ABA recognizes the urgency given the courts will likely strip women, girls and LGBTQ+ people of 14th Amendment "equal" protection. We are grateful for the ABA and look forward to working with them to get the ERA over the finish line. For additional details, see our Press Release. https://lnkd.in/e6fij6TU

As you know, for the last three years, we have been advocating for President Biden to publish the #EqualRightsAmendment to guarantee equality for women, girls and LGBTQIA+ people and to protect/restore reproductive rights. Today's Daily Beast article highlights our efforts and demonstrates exactly what is going on. Both major presidential candidates and their enablers are playing politics with the rights and lives of more than half of the American population. This could not come at a better time. Without the need for any action by or legislation from Congress, and regardless of who is in the White House, (1) a national abortion ban is imminent, and (2) SCOTUS is teed-up to strip women, girls and LGBTQ+ people of 14th Amendment equal protection. Unless, of course, the ERA is published. We simply cannot afford to wait any longer! Thank you, Lloyd Grove, for your courageous reporting. #MakeTheCallJoe #PublishTheERA

"The Trump administration used this unconstitutional constraint to decline a request from the National Archives to publish the Equal Rights Amendment as an Amendment in 2020. Since taking office in 2021, President Biden has failed to rectify this injustice. If we look around our country, where the rights of women are being ripped away at every turn, this failure to act cannot be allowed to stand." It is long past time for President Biden to publish the ERA as a the 28th Amendment. 120+ celebrities, including Debra Messing, Julianne Moore, Jennie Garth, Aisha Stewart, Amy Schumer, Sharon Stone, Bradley Whitford, Jane Fonda, and Jason Alexander, just demanded Biden #PublishTheERA and stated "We’re going to let everyone we know hear about how you are working to keep gender equality out of the Constitution."

Yesterday, Shattering Glass led 84 organizations and professional associations from across the country in calling on President Biden to instruct the US Archivist to publish the Equal Rights Amendment (“ERA”) as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Here is a link to our Press Release, which includes a link to the letter and the full list of our amazing partners. https://lnkd.in/gWdaSab4 This is not your typical advocacy letter. It is the result of our work over the last two years, educating, advocating and collaborating with a variety of stakeholders. These 84 national and state organizations and professional associations from across the nation are a diverse, courageous group that includes: • Democracy and voting focused organizations, such as the American Constitution Society, Free Speech For People, and Center For Common Ground; • Military focused organizations, such as Combat Sexual Assault, Military & Veteran Women's Coalition, and Women Injured in Combat; • Organizations primarily focused on LGBTQIA+ rights, such as Equality Illinois, National Center for Lesbian Rights, and the Trans Formations Project; • Youth led/focused organizations, such as Generation Ratify, Girls Inc., and The Feminist Front; • Organizations primarily focused on reproductive rights, such as Saratoga Caucus for Reproductive Rights; • Medical Associations and Organizations, such as American Medical Women’s Association, Civic Health Alliance, Doctors For America, National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health, Patient Care Heroes and Physicians for Reproductive Health; • Political parties and organizations, such as Democrats Abroad, Greene County Ohio Democratic Party, National Women’s Political Caucus, and the Ohio Democratic Women's Caucus; and • Other professional associations and organizations, such as Illinois Federation of Teachers, The Ohio Federation of Business & Professional Women, and Women Employed. All of this in addition to numerous national, state and local gender and racial justice organizations, such as American Association of University Women, Equality Now, Indivisible, Jewish Women International, National Council of Negro Women, Sojourners, and ZONTA International. The diversity of organizations and the millions of people they represent demonstrate the significance and urgency of ERA publication, the benefits the ERA will provide across society, the intersectionality of the movement, and the impact this issue could have on our democracy, as well as the 2024 elections. We are beyond grateful for all of our courageous partners and supporters!

It's #GivingTuesday. Did you know that less than 2% of all charitable giving in the U.S. goes to nonprofits dedicated to women and girls? Yet our rights under attack from every direction. Stripped of the rights to bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. Increased violence against women and girls - with the US Supreme Court even considering whether to allow domestic abusers to carry handguns, knowing it will put the lives of women and children at far greater risk. Subjected to lower wages, costing American women and their families approximately $1.6 trillion, in the aggregate, each year. And the gender pay gap increases with the level of education. For example, women physicians make an average of $2 million less than their male counterparts over the course of their careers. We must fight back hard now – for our girls and for generations to come. Fight as if our lives depend on it. They do. And we need your help.
