Speakers of the ERA event with GC Interim President Joy Connolly

With recent votes to ratify in Nevada and Illinois, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is back in the public consciousness. In this positive new era for the ERA, women of color are leading the momentum as elected officials and advocates. Hear about the on-the-ground experiences of black and Latina women who have brought the movement to its current threshold, including Pat Spearman, Nevada state senator; Jennifer McClellan, Virginia state senator; Carla Cunningham, North Carolina state representative; Hala Ayala, Virginia delegate; and others. Moderated by Carol Robles-Román, co-president and CEO of the ERA Coalition and the Fund for Women’s Equality. Learn more from these women leaders about how they are shaping the future of politics and democracy in America.
 
Presented with the ERA Coalition.
