Today, I was incredibly proud to vote for the #ERA resolution and stand with women across the US, giving them this critical legal tool to combat everyday discrimination that they face including pay discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, & sexual and domestic violence.
When I cast my vote today to remove the deadline, I thought of all the generations of women that have marched and fought tirelessly for the explicit constitutional right of equality, dating back to 1923 when the first version of the ERA was drafted.
Gender-based discrimination cannot stand – we are all equal. For far too long, the legal distinctions of gender have played a discriminatory role against women in employment, divorce, and property ownership.
Although discrimination against women will not end immediately if ERA is ratified, this is an important step in ensuring equality in this country and showing that in America, we value all of our citizens equally.
I urge the Senate to immediately take up and pass this resolution so we move to add the ERA as an amendment to the Constitution and by doing so, finally achieve this landmark accomplishment in the fight for equality.
I was proud to celebrate this historic vote with all my hardworking female staffers. #ERANowpic.twitter.com/rcTAHPVEZW

The ERA Amendment died 38 years ago when it ran out in 1982. You need to start out all over again. Some states that originally ratified it have dropped out. Even Ginsberg says it is dead.
