Equal Rights Amendment

The Equal Rights Amendment is STILL not part of the U.S. Constitution  

First proposed in 1923. the ERA affirms that women and men have equal rights under the law.   The ERA was passed out of Congress in 1972 and has been ratified by 35 of the necessary 38 states.  

When three more states vote yes, it is possible that the ERA could become the 28th Amendment.   

The 15 states whose legislatures have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment are:

• Alabama

• Arizona

• Arkansas

• Florida

• Georgia

• Illinois

• Louisiana

• Mississippi

• Missouri

• Nevada

• North Carolina

• Oklahoma

• South Carolina

• Utah

• Virginia
