Join us for our next meeting
Say Yes To
the Equal Rights Amendment:
Think America doesn’t need the ERA to end sex discrimination? Think again. Women do not possess the absolute right to be paid equally for the same work or to be free of sex discrimination unless there is federal assistance. Federal and state governments have legal authority over every aspect of women’s lives except for the right to vote, which is protected under the 19th amendment. Service women are excluded from combat pay and benefits, yet they serve on the front lines. Virginia and four other states are working in 2012 to secure and advance women’s progress under the Equal Rights Amendment. Discover the ABC’s of the ERA; volunteer in Virginia in February to pass the ERA; solicit your congressional members to support passage of the ERA. Learn how you can help achieve equality for women. Carolyn A. Cook, Founder/CEO of United 4 Equality, LLC, architect of HJ res. 47 in the 112th Congress and Secretary of the Clearinghouse on Women’s Issues. Colonel BJ Thornburg, US Army (retired), an active member of ERA VA’s coalition.
