In case you missed Gov class, an amendment becomes law under the Constitution once 3/4s of the states ratify it. Virginia ratified the ERA in 2020, pushing it over the 3/4s requirement. So what's the hold up? Well, they ratified it DECADES after the deadline, so there's been quite the legal controversy about whether it counts or not. Plus, in order for the ERA to be added as the 28th Amendment, the national archivist would need to certify it as part of the Constitution, and Biden has not directed the archivist to do so. #equalrightsamendment #era #discrimination #biden #fyp #news #politics #political #politicalnews #politicaltiktok

President Biden on Friday declared that he believes the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, had met the requirements of ratification and was now part of the U.S. Constitution. “Today, I affirm the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all the necessary hurdles to be added to the U.S. Constitution, now! The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land, now! It’s the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, now!” he said in remarks before the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, DC. Congress approved the ERA by a two-thirds vote in both chambers in 1972 and set up a seven-year deadline for the requisite three-quarters of states to sign onto the law as a constitutional amendment. That deadline was later extended to 10 years, but by 1982, only 35 states had ratified it. It wasn’t until 2020 that Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA. Democrats have argued that since the Constitution says nothing about a timeframe, the deadline should be ignored and the amendment should be considered ratified. Opponents of the ERA, including many Republicans, have argued that the amendment wasn’t valid since the deadline had passed and several states had rescinded their approval. The president’s declaration is not legally binding and it’s up to the archivist of the United States to determine whether it should be published. Colleen Shogan, the archivist, issued a statement last month saying that the ERA “cannot be certified as part of the Constitution due to established legal, judicial and procedural decisions.” Watch more at c-span.org #biden #era #equalrightsamendment #usconstitution #cspan

Wild to think that when the ERA was first introduced, women could still be denied seats on juries and Harvard lecture halls didn’t have womens restrooms. Makes you wonder what kinds of acceptable discrimination we’ll balk at in another 50 years. #era #equalrightsamendment #genderequality #trans #transtok #transrights #womensrights

Increíble que en el 2025 todavía tenemos que convencer a los Republicanos de que las mujeres tenemos los mismos derechos que los hombres. Para los incrédulos que posiblemente vendrán a comentar argumentos infundados: • En promedio, las mujeres ganan 82 centavos por cada dólar que gana un hombre. • Si lo calculamos por raza, las mujeres latinas ganan solo 57 centavos y las mujeres negras 63 centavos por cada dólar que gana un hombre blanco. • Las mujeres no son promovidas al mismo ritmo que los hombres, incluso cuando tienen igual o mayor calificación. • En muchos estados, las mujeres tienen menos derechos sobre sus propios cuerpos que un cadáver. Mientras que la donación de órganos requiere consentimiento explícito, las mujeres embarazadas pueden ser forzadas a continuar un embarazo sin importar sus deseos o circunstancias. Es hora de que este país deje de tratar la igualdad de género como algo opcional y empiece a garantizarla como un derecho. Por eso me uno al movimiento de Equal Rights Now, porque no podemos esperar más. Estoy orgullosa de trabajar junto a Shawna Vercher aka @Shawna Presley Vercher , quien lidera esta lucha con la urgencia y valentía que este momento histórico exige. ¡El progreso no puede esperar y tampoco nosotras! #eranow #equalrights #equalrightsamendment #politica #derechos #igualdad #equidad #mujeres #equidaddegenero #latina #mujer #heidytorr #educateconheidytorr #equalpay #equalpayforwomen #informateconheidytorr #heidytorr #republicanos #democratas #biden #maga #maga2024 #trump2024 #trump

During an interview with The Daily from @nytimes @senkirstengillibrand explained that passing a constitutional amendment requires two steps under Article 5: approval by two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. With Virginia’s ratification in 2020, the ERA met these requirements. However, the archivist, whose role is purely administrative, was prevented from publishing the ERA due to a memo issued by Trump’s Office of Legal Counsel. The memo incorrectly claimed that a seven-year deadline in the preamble was binding, despite legal precedent showing such deadlines are not constitutionally operative. The 27th Amendment, which took 203 years to ratify, proves timeliness is not a constitutional standard. Senator Gillibrand has urged the Biden administration to either issue a new legal memo or direct the archivist to publish the ERA. She emphasized that the ERA is vital to addressing legal gaps not covered by the 14th Amendment, particularly in light of the Dobbs decision, where Justice Alito stated there is no constitutional right to privacy. States with their own Equal Rights Amendments have ruled that denying reproductive healthcare violates equality under the law. Gillibrand argued that making the ERA the 28th Amendment would ensure federal protections for privacy and reproductive rights, safeguarding women’s equality across the nation. #EqualRightsAmendment #ERANow

The Equal Rights Amendment states “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Call and/or text the White House - slide into their messages tonight ;) Call 202-456-1111 Text 302-404-0880 Once upon a time, in a prior version of America, women couldn’t have bank accounts (until 1974). Women couldn’t own a business (until 1988). Funny now that women control 80% of our market. Women couldn’t even keep their own wages until 1900. We were expected to fill certain roles that kept the hierarchy of some and kept us submissive. We still do not have any protection in the Constitution to keep the rights women have gained (financial, educational, reprxductive) from being taken away if we don’t finally ratify the ERA 53 years after it was initially passed in 1972 (in 2020, the ratification requirement of 38 states was met but we’re held up by an old 7-year ratification clause). #era #equalrightsamendment #guthealthy #wickedwitch #womenownedbusiness #womenfacts
