Virginia Equal Rights Coalition

The ERA was drafted by Alice Paul in 1923. Congress overwhelmingly passed the ERA in 1972. Thirty-eight states are required to ratify a Constitutional Amendment for it to enter the Constitution. Because thirty-seven states have ratified the Amendment, most recently Illinois in June, 2018, only one more state is needed. That state could be Virginia, a state uniquely situated to continue standing up for individual rights by amendment of the United States Constitution.
