But now we need action. We need the House of Representatives, specifically the Judiciary Committee, to put the ERA on the calendar. HJ Res 38 is sponsored in the House by Congresswoman Jackie Speier–the Coalition has assisted in encouraging co-sponsors to sign on to the bill–there are now more than 200 co-sponsors.

Finally, here is an excellent piece written by Rep. Jackie Speier in Elle, addressing her support of the ERA, what her bill will do, and why we must all do this now.
Thank you so much to all of our allies in this effort. Join us. Sign the petition, sign up for our newsletters to keep up to date on the progress of the ERA.
