It is one sentence: rights shall not be denied based on sex. For 103 years, 12 Republican led legislatures have refused to ratify it. Not complicated. Not costly. They just will not say women are equal. Ask them why. #EqualRightsAmendment #WomensRights

So, now we have Schrödinger's Equal Right Amendment.
It is both approved and not approved, until the box is opened, presumably by SCOTUS after somebody files suit.
How do you think THAT will turn out?

Immediately before leaving office, Joe Biden has declared that the Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th amendment to the United States Constitution: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-the-equal-rights-amendment/

In yet another performative act that has no legal basis, #JoeBiden pretends that the #EqualRightsAmendment #ERA is ratified when that hasn't actually happened.

Democrats Abroad has been part of the effort since we unanimously passed an #ERA resolution in 2018.
We agree with American Bar Association that there is no statute of limitations on ratifications, and call upon the US Archivist to do her job and publish the #28thAmendment of the #USConstitution, codifying equal rights for women and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Thank you President Biden for bringing this 102 year journey to a close.

That “equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex” could possibly be a point of contention in 2025 is mind boggling.

Text of the ERA:
Section 1: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Section 2: The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3: This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

Disheartened that Pres. Biden will not order the Archivist to publish the Equal Rights Amendment, which was ratified.
It is clear that women have historically been treated unequally under the law. I've advocated for righting this wrong for decades.
The entire Amendment's wording:
“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”
Why should this be hard?

Progress seems to be some sort of dance.
Two steps forward, one step back.Once, there were signs in places that read, "Whites only!" or "Blacks & Mexicans Not Allowed"
Now, we have signs that read, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason."There is no accountability for discrimination now. An establishment can systematically deny service to any demographic they choose, without being charged with discrimination. To put together a case for discrimination, would require a large data set, that would include the name of the establishment, and the demographics of the person denied service. Then, you would have to prove that there was a strong enough statistical correlation to make the case for discrimination. Then there would be drawn out legal battles, and the courts favor the rich. A class action lawsuit against an establishment that discriminates illegally, would be very hard to put together.
We may be running on a treadmill, with the lure of money (the carrots) dangled to tempt us, the fear of poverty (the stick) threatening us, and token illusions of progress to keep us motivated.
Maybe we need to change tactics, and step off the treadmill.
When no temptation and no fear can dissuade us from seeking equal rights and justice, that will be progress.#FediLaw #Justice #EqualRights #EqualRightsAmendment #SocialJustice #Discrimination #Business #Law #Democracy #HumanRights #NAACP

The US Archivist just decided 𝗻𝗼𝘁 to certify the #EqualRightsAmendment (#ERA).
https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2025/nr25-004“In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid."
Congress originally set the ratification deadline at March 1979, and later voted to extend it to June 1982.

The Equal Rights Amendment is already part of the U.S. Constitution: Joe Biden can make that legally clear
A stroke of the pen by Biden. He has just over a month to make that happen.

"The ERA has cleared the threshold for ratification, but it’s been held up because of GOP opposition and legal debates. Biden has the authority and the responsibility to instruct the National Archivist to publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment and should do so before leaving office. While not a silver bullet, the ERA could provide a critical tool for combating discrimination against women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people nationwide."
