 Coalition\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/eracoalition\n\nThe Equal Rights 
 Amendment (ERA) was passed by Congress in 1972, and sent to the states for 
 ratification. It was initially given a time limit of 7 years to ratify, 
 later extended to 10 years. During this time 35 states ratified, just three 
 states short of the 38 needed for the amendment to be added to the 
 Constitution.\n\nThe ERA is introduced in Congress in each Congressional 
 Session. There are currently two sets of bills introduced to secure 
 constitutional equality. A fresh start of the ERA with new wording, as well 
 as a resolution to remove the time line that halted the progress of the 
 first campaign.\n\nSociety has changed in the past forty years and many 
 concerns that hindered ratification are now obsolete, while the need for an 
 effective and permanent sex equality guarantee remains. We bring the 
 experience and wisdom of the veteran activists together with the energy and 
 social media skills of a new generation to build a successful coalition 
 effort for passage and ratification of the ERA\n
