Publish the Equal Rights Amendment immediately

To: Pres. Biden

From: A verified voter in Arlington, VA

November 29

As you may know, the American Bar Association issued a resolution in August that states that the Equal Rights Amendment in fact is already the 28th Amend ment to the Constitution, having fulfilled all requirements outlined in the Amendment process. They reached this conclusion after a year of study, and are not known as a political institution. It sets a dangerous precedent to allow the Federal government to overrule the will of the states by simply not publishing a fully ratified Amendment based on a deadline that the States never agreed to, since it was not in the Amendment itself. For these reasons, and on behalf of all the trans people, queer people, and women who are about to be targeted by a hostile Trump administration, I am asking you to do your duty and publish the 28th Amendment immediately. To quote a question to President Wilson "Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?" That question was posed over 100 years ago- it's been long enough. Do the right thing, or history will remember your failure.
