Latest ERA Coalition Ad

Transcript: As we commemorate our nation’s founding this July 4th, let’s remember the vision the founders laid out: a framework for freedom and democracy. The American Revolution was a fight against tyranny and oppression. Today, we fight to preserve our democracy and freedom from those who are stripping away our rights. Our strongest weapon is the Equal Rights Amendment. It’s time to ensure that sex discrimination is explicitly barred by the United States Constitution. We need gender justice now. No compromise on our rights. Let’s celebrate our independence by electing champions who will fight for the rights and freedoms of every person in this country. Find your ERA certified candidates with our Elect Equality tool and vote in the fall elections like your equality depends on it, because it does. Take action now. For yourself, for everyone you love and care about – let’s get this done. Join us in making a stand for democracy and freedom by electing equality this November. Let’s ensure that gender equality is not just a promise but a reality.
