LWVUS POSITION IN BRIEF |
|
On May 30, 2018, Illinois became the 37th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The League of Women Voters of Wilmette was very involved with this effort and we thank all of you for making it happen! We continue to support efforts throughout the country.
You can follow ERA developments on our "ERA YES" Facebook page If you are interested in continuing to help pass ERA, please send an email to lwvweraprogram@gmail.com. There's plenty more to do. We appreciate you! |
The ERA was passed by Congress in 1972 and sent to the states for ratification. Three-quarters of the states—38 states—need to ratify the Amendment before it can be added to the Constitution.
