Equal Rights Amendment

“Equal rights, under the law, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

Our League Action Team is committed to passing ERA–and putting women in the U. S. Constitution for the first time in history.

Just one more state is needed to get to the 38 required for passage of a Constitutional amendment. North Carolina should certainly be one of them!
