It’s that time again – time for precincts across the state to pass resolutions encouraging our political parties to support North Carolina ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment!
Here is a resolution you can download and introduce at your precinct meetings – it’s completely non-partisan, just like equal protection under the Constitution for all Americans is non-partisan.

A New Day for the ERA
The Equal Rights Amendment, which was introduced nearly 100 years ago, became enforceable as the 28th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution on Thursday, Jan. 27. The amendment, passed in January 2020 when Virginia became the final state to ratify, gave federal and state governments exactly two years to bring their statutes into alignment.
Equal rights advocates and state legislators put the North Carolina General Assembly on notice Thursday that most state statutes need review under the newly enforceable 28th Amendment/ERA.

Action: Rescind Barr Memo
Urge the Office of Legal Counsel to rescind Barr memo to Archivist
Take action! The ERA-NC Alliance urges everyone to immediately ask Christopher Schroeder, left, the newly appointed Assistant Attorney General overseeing the Office of Legal Counsel, to rescind the 2020 memo to the National Archivist. That memo, sent during U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr’s tenure, effectively stopped National Archivist David Ferriero from publishing the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA met all constitutional requirements when Virginia became the 38th and final state needed to ratify on January 27, 2020.
