The ERA is a pretty simple idea. Alice Paul, an American Quaker #suffragist , first introduced it to Congress in 1923. In 1943, she rewrote it: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." #ERANow #WHM

More than 50 years after Congress set in motion the ratification of the #EqualRightsAmendment , the movement to provide women with more #equality under the law is gaining new life on Capitol Hill. Tues, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing. #ERANow

'It's time to clear the path to equality': Senate revisits Equal Rights Amendment after 40 years

The effort to boost women's rights follows the "Me Too" movement in 2017 and the Supreme Court 2022 ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, curbing abortion.

Even today, women earn 82¢ on the dollar when compared to men’s earnings. This is why we need the #ERANow which would give existing laws constitutional teeth‼️ We need to eradicate gender #inequity & address the systemic socioeconomic issues that perpetuate the #gender #paygap .
