ERA
Alert from Nancy Glowacki, ERA Team Leader and ERA-NC Alliance Liaison.
In spite of the pandemic, the Ratify ERA-NC Alliance has been at work. At the state level, we ask all advocates to participate in any local political forums (likely all virtual these days) and publicly ask candidates if they support the Equal Rights Amendment and notify us of their responses. After all NC primary elections, we will send a survey to General Assembly candidates asking their position on the ERA and sharing those results this summer. Currently, we do not know whether the NC General Assembly will introduce many non-COVID-19 bills, but it is possible that the ERA ratification bill will be introduced in July or August. We will keep you posted on any developments.
Meanwhile, at the national level, we are pushing the US Senate to pass Senate Joint Resolution 6 (SJR6) to eliminate the deadline for the ERA. Below is the action alert that we ask you to get out to everyone in your network. (The House already passed this bill.) We had a Skype call with Senator Thom Tillis’ office recently to urge his support and are working to get one with Burr’s office. Letters and calls are urgently needed from North Carolina residents. SEE BELOW!
