Hear from @unfoRETTAble @maebirdwing & #ChristinaHendricks on why the time is now to add the #ERA to the Constitution. Take action at ERAyes2021.org! #NoTimeLimitOnEquality @elliesmeal @FemMajority @ERACoalition @SenatorCardin @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin

The text of the Equal Rights Amendment states "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." That's all we're asking for. #ERAnow

The #ERA was passed by Congress 49 YEARS ago, and ratified by the required 38 states. There's no excuse for denying #genderequality in the Constitution.

The House vote made it official: #NoTimeLimitOnEquality. Now it's up to the Senate to ensure equal rights for all, which 97% of Americans support.

Yesterday's guilty verdict was one step towards accountability, but systemic racism in the U.S. stems beyond one ‘bad apple.’ It's essential to recognize the broader culture of racism and anti-Blackness in America, especially in the Midwest. msmagazine.com/2021/04/13/who…

The trial of Derek Chauvin is a symptom of a legacy of horrors involving policing, societal hierarchies and racism. The fact is, policing is part of America’s origin story and its history of enslavement, kidnapping and trafficking of Black people.

Today in Minneapolis, Black people are 8.7 times more likely than white counterparts to be arrested for low-level offenses. For Indigenous populations in the Twin Cities, the data is similarly skewed.
