I am writing with extreme concern about the critical need to protect equal rights before they come under unprecedented assault. We cannot afford to wait another day to secure constitutional protections for gender equality.
The Equal Rights Amendment has met the requirement of 38 state ratifications, yet it remains unpublished due to political obstruction. This is absolutely unacceptable. We are facing an immediate threat to fundamental rights, and we need bold action NOW.
I demand that you call on Vice President Harris to immediately publish and certify the ERA as the 28th Amendment. VP Harris has championed the ERA before - it's time for her to use her power to get this done. Every day of delay puts Americans' rights at greater risk.
The opposition's agenda is clear - they plan to roll back decades of progress on equal rights. We cannot let this happen. The ERA would create crucial constitutional guardrails against discrimination based on sex and gender. Without these protections firmly in place, everything we've fought for is in jeopardy.
The time for hesitation is over. The legal threshold for ratification has been met. The only thing lacking is the political will to finish the job. Your constituents are watching, and we expect you to fight with everything you have to get the ERA across the finish line.
Act now. Call on VP Harris to publish the ERA immediately. The clock is ticking, and history will judge harshly those who stood idle while equal rights hung in the balance.
I expect a response detailing what specific actions you will take to advance this urgent priority.
