  • REPORT SEXUAL ASSAULT

November 20, 2024 by Florida NOW and Kaitlyn Kirk, Communications Director

CALL TO ACTION: The Equal Rights Amendment is the comprehensive, permanent tool we need to defend abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. President Biden and Congress have the power to publish it.

A national abortion ban and attacks on queer & trans youth are on the horizon. Donald Trump made clear he will be instituting these attacks on our communities on Day 1. Now more than ever, we need to unite to block the attacks on our rights. We know the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is the best shot we have right now, to tangibly protect our communities from his incoming orders. #ERANow calls on outgoing President Biden to publish the Equal Rights Amendment.

Publication of the ERA would enshrine the following 24 words in the U.S. Constitution: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Once published, the U.S. Constitution will explicitly prohibit sex discrimination, which includes discrimination based on sexuality and gender identity. This would finally put women and queer people in the Constitution, and protect abortion, gender-affirming care, and more. A constitutional amendment is something Donald Trump can’t overturn.

An amendment to the Constitution needs passage by 2/3rds of Congress and ratification from 38 states. The ERA has met those requirements. Now, we need President Biden to be bold and publish the ERA in his last months in office. The stakes are higher than ever.

Tell President Biden, Publish the ERA Now!
