As the Equal Rights Amendment has met the constitutional requirements for ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures, it is imperative that you direct the Archivist of the United States to publish the amendment as the 28th addition to the U.S. Constitution. Solidifying gender equality and shielding rights from political threats must be a top priority in these final days of your presidency. Certifying the ERA would enshrine explicit protections against sex-based discrimination into the nation's founding document, safeguarding advancements and preventing future rollbacks on issues from pay equity to reproductive freedoms. With broad public support and the amendment's successful state ratification, there is no legal obstacle remaining. By taking this defining action, you would cement a monumental legacy of securing equal rights and expanding constitutional liberties for all Americans.
