Don't miss this special event all about the ERA--Equal Rights Amendment. Just weeks away from the 2019 General Assembly, we're gathering to galvanize Cville into action to help ratify the ERA with honored guests Delegate David Toscano, Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, and Kay Slaughter, former Mayor of Charlottesville.
Come help make history in Virginia! Everyone needs to do what they can to turn up the volume so our legislators can hear us. We want Virginia to ratify the ERA! Nearly 100 years after women earned the right to vote, it's past time to add gender equality to the U.S. Constitution so sex can be given the same protection as race, religion and national origin.
We're almost at the finish line. Let's gather to prepare for the sprint to the end. We'll go over the what, why, and how of the ERA in VA:- what is history and current status of the ERA
- why we still need it and why it's still alive
- why the ERA also helps men and business
- what happens to the ERA bills once the legislative session starts on January 9
- how you can help from your Cville home or office
- how to take your ERA passion on the road to Richmond (bus trip anyone?)
We'll have everything you need to become part of history:
Postcards ~ Petitions to Sign ~ Props for Photos for Social Media
And of course, snacks to fuel you as you fire up!
Please share widely and encourage everyone in your work, school, family and friend circles to join us!
Legislative session begins January 9. Let's be ready to help make it happen!
