This week the Equal Rights Amendment, which would codify gender equality in the U.S. Constitution, will get its first hearing in 40 years when, on Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee meets to discuss a joint resolution to finally ratify the ERA.
It’s not lost on me that the first time the Equal Rights Amendment was put forward was 100 years ago. The coalition was not as diverse nor as inclusive, so I’m especially encouraged and emboldened to demonstrate today we are leading and working in an intersectional and inclusive way to advance this priority.
So, what does that mean? Well, because the time limit was placed in the proposing clause to the amendment, it’s something that Congress can change. And Congress has already changed that amendment and that time limit once. In the late 1970s, it voted by simple majority to extend the time limit by another three years.
