In 1972, Congress passed the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which
would provide a path to reliable economic security for both women and
men by guaranteeing that equal pay for equal work is enshrined in the
United States Constitution. 43 years later, 35 states have ratified the
ERA – leaving us three states short of full ratification.
This inequity
puts women behind on earnings for their whole careers—and since Social
Security benefits reflect one’s earnings, it means that women fall
behind in retirement, too. This isn’t fair, and it’s time to address
this disparity at its root—by ratifying ERA and closing the gender pay
gap.
We are working to remove the deadline at the Federal level and introduce ERA ratification bills at the state level.
