Protect Women’s Rights Publish ERA into the Constitution

The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Subject: Publish the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Dear President Biden, As a voting citizen of the United States, I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to publish the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the United States Constitution before your term concludes. The ERA represents a critical and overdue step toward ensuring equal protection under the law for women and addressing systemic gender-based inequities. The ERA has already met the necessary constitutional requirements: approval by a two-thirds majority in Congress and ratification by the requisite number of states. However, bureaucratic delays and political resistance have stalled its official recognition. With women’s rights increasingly under attack—from threats to reproductive autonomy to pervasive workplace discrimination—the inclusion of the ERA in our Constitution is more urgent than ever. By publishing the ERA, you would be reaffirming your administration’s commitment to gender equality and leaving a historic legacy that protects the lives and rights of millions of Americans. This action would demonstrate that the United States stands firmly against all forms of gender discrimination and values equality as a foundational principle. I urge you to use the full authority of your office to ensure the ERA is published, fulfilling the promise of equal rights for all. Your leadership at this critical moment could secure this vital protection for generations to come. Thank you for your consideration and service to our country. I trust you will act with the urgency and courage that this moment demands.
