In 1923, Alice Paul tried to pass a constitutional amendment that gave women equal rights, she called it the “Equal Rights Amendment”. Almost a century later, it still hasn’t passed.

Allyson McKinney Timm founder of Justice Revival talks to us about the ERA, why it still hasn’t passed, and what we can do to guarantee rights for women going forward.

*note: Allyson’s mic wasn’t working at first, so we used her computer mic which picked up a slight humming from her AC unit. Persevere and listen anyway, I promise it is worth it.

More info from Allyson: S.J. Res. 6, the Senate bill to eliminate the congressionally imposed deadline on ratification of the ERA. Here is more information about the bill itself, and here are two different petitions in support of the bill. The ERA Coalition also offers this virtual lobbying package to use in contacting your senators.

Let’s get this thing passed, shall we?
