Dear Friend,
Equality under the law is fundamental to justice. Dr. Cornel West
and Dr. Melina Abdullah are staunch advocates for the Equal Rights
Amendment (ERA), which aims to ensure that all individuals have equal
rights regardless of sex.
"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." -
Equal Rights Amendment
The ERA seeks to provide a constitutional
guarantee against sex discrimination, reinforcing the principle that
equal means equal. To understand more about the ERA and its
importance, watch this compelling video with Kamala Lopez - Founder of
Equal
Means Equal along with Drs. West & Abdullah.

Key Points from the Video:
-
Importance of the ERA: The ERA is essential for
protecting rights related to equal pay, bodily autonomy, LGBTQ rights,
pregnancy rights, and contraception.
-
Historical Context: The ERA has been fully ratified
since 2020, but bureaucratic obstacles have prevented its formal
recognition as the 28th Amendment.
-
Current Advocacy Efforts: The video calls for urgent
action to pressure President Biden to direct the US archivist to
publish the ERA, ensuring it is recognized and enforced.
