April 17
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that seeks to prohibit discrimination based on sex. It aims to affirm that "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The ERA has been introduced in Congress and debated over the years, with equalrightsamendment.org providing information on its history, current status, and efforts towards ratification. H.R.253 - Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act was introduced in the 119th Congress. This bill addresses various issues related to ethics, campaign finance, and government accountability. It aims to strengthen ethics requirements for senior government officials, overhaul the Office of Congressional Ethics, impose new restrictions on former members of Congress lobbying activities, and increase disclosure requirements for political advertising and campaign donations.
