Podcasts about equal rights amendment era

President Donald J. Trump has been in office for less than a week and he's already done AMAZING things for our nation's borders and immigration policies. Listen in as our host, Mike Slater, explains what's been going down and why things are looking up for America on that front. MAGA!Following the opener, Breitbart Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski joins the program to talk about President Joe Biden trying to bizarrely proclaim that the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution was ratified by 38 states to become part of the U.S. Constitution and was the law of our land right as he was leaving office. Weird stuff that you should know about!

One of Joe Biden's last acts as president was declaring the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) the law of the land. Many people are wondering, What's the ERA? To find the answer, we're rebroadcasting our two-part series on the godmother of conservatism - Phyllis Schlafly - with a new discussion on the hidden purpose of the ERA. Along the way we get insight from conservative icon Michelle Malkin and Ed Martin, President Trump's pick for chief of staff at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Phyllis Schlafly embarked on one of the most epic political battles in American history…and in the process, uncovered the surprising truth at how to win in politics.Support the show: https://redpilledamerica.com/support/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the ballot this November is The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), to guarantee equality of rights under the law for all persons regardless of sex. To get more awareness around the amendment, Alyssa Talanker organized "A Night of Women" on September 21, 6-9 pm at the Lark Street Tavern in Albany. She spoke with Sina Basila Hickey about this event.

Give to help Chris continue the Truce Podcast. Phyllis Schalfly was a remarkable woman. Regardless of your politics, you have to admire the impact that one person, who was never elected to office, could have on national political conversations. Schlafly was already part of the in-crowd in Washington when she took a stance against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). She was an exercise in nuance herself-- a woman who fought for traditional views of women in society, while also earning a law degree and touring the nation on speaking tours. She had a family and held a prominent position in the national zeitgeist, even building on battles fought by Anita Bryant. But who was Phyllis Schlafly? She was a Catholic woman, which is important because Catholics had long been the victims of prejudice in the United States. She was a mother, a popular speaker, publisher of The Phyllis Schlafly Report newsletter, and author of books like A Choice, Not An Echo, which was a conspiratorial screed about stealing elections. This lady knew how to turn a story. She ran for Congress in 1955 and again in 1970, losing both times. Then in 1972, she learned about the ERA. The Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed by Alice Paul in 1923. The goal was to have men and women treated equally under the law. That means that women would no longer receive special protections either. So... a double-edged sword, right? Women in the 1960s and 70s still had a ways to go when it came to equality. It brought forth some big questions about how to achieve it. Schlafly wanted to protect the protections. So she formed STOP ERA (Stop Taking Our Protections, ERA) to rally her followers against the ERA. This was a big twist because state after state had rushed to ratify the amendment. But once Phyllis got going, they applied the brakes and waited. Schlafly may have single-handedly stopped an Amendment to the Constitution. In this episode, we're going to learn about this dynamo. A woman who is both loved and hated. An intelligent woman, and someone who traded in falsities. Our guests for this episode are Marjorie Spruill, author of Divided We Stand and Angie Maxwell, author of The Long Southern Strategy.

Are you an Esther, an Alice, or a Phyllis? The ERA is really short. Do you think it should be more specific to clarify its position? How have you seen sexism? How has it impacted your life? Have you seen women treated well in the workplace? What made the difference? Are stay-at-home mothers respected in our society? If not, what can you and your church do to support them?

Bill's guest today is Jamie Manson, President of Catholics for Choice, an organization that supports abortion rights and believes that the Catholic Church should give women the freedom to control their own bodies. The organization reflects the fact that the majority of Catholics in the United States support abortion rights, according to a recent Pew study. However, there is little public support for the organization among the Catholic clergy in the US, as they face severe repercussions for questioning the church's teachings. Catholics for Choice emphasizes the importance of reproductive freedom, dignity, conscience, and moral responsibility in their advocacy. They believe that abortion bans disproportionately harm marginalized communities and that abortion is a personal issue that affects many women and families. The organization has support from both Democrats and Republicans, as well as from men and women of various religious backgrounds. They are actively involved in state-level initiatives to protect abortion rights, and they believe that the issue of reproductive freedom will be important in the 2024 presidential election. Catholics for Choice also advocates for the codification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the US Constitution to protect women's rights and equality. They believe that President Biden and Vice President Harris have taken positive steps on the issue, but they encourage them to speak out more boldly in support of abortion rights. The organization is actively involved in supporting pro-abortion initiatives at the state level and faces opposition from well-funded anti-abortion groups. Today Bill highlights the great work of Catholics for Choice. Find out more and look into helping them further their mission at CatholicsForChoice.org.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- The first presidential debate is drawing nigh. It's looking like President Biden may end up being the nominee, but what about vice president? Kamala Harris remains unpopular and doesn't seem to help Joe Biden's struggling poll numbers at all. Amy Klobuchar alway outperforms in Minnesota. Why? Why do more Minnesotans vote for her? Why can't Republicans lay a glove on her? She votes along party lines with Joe Biden every time, just as she did with Barack Obama. Will the Republican strategy change with Royce White or are we in for another six years of straight Democrat votes? Well, we made it through  another session of the Minnesota Legislaturere. It was bad, but it could have been a lot worse. Once again, they shoved a whole bunch of stuff into one bill, never mind that bills are supposed to ony be one issue. The Dems cut off debate mid-stream (even as amendments were being added by the Republicans) to pass their swampy omnibus bill. They are willing to break the rules to get their way. That should scare everyone. They put restrictions on Uber and Lyft drivers. This affected many independent contractors and their businesses. They passed a bill that would study the restructure Met Council leadership from appointed to elected... not that it would change anything anyway. We did get a few wins. The bonding bill didn't pass. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA bill) didn't pass. Religious exemptions were added back into the Human Rights Act, and Ranked Choice Voting was DOA... for now. Conservatives have to take back either the House or the Senate in order to keep these awful bills away. We are too close to going down and we have to stand.

Kathy Spillar, Executive Director of Feminist Majority Foundation and Executive Editor of MS Magazine joins SideBar to discuss why ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is an essential legal tool to guarantee women's rights. Ratification of the ERA would constitutionally prohibit sex discrimination, recognize systemic inequities across different groups of people, and uplift historically marginalized people to achieve true equality and justice.

Campus protests and May graduations have highlighted concerns over public school curricula at Parents' Rights In Education. The scrutiny includes perceptions of male/female roles and the overselling of women being able to do everything, while boys can be girls.Two articles inspired this commentary. The first is a commencement address by Harrison Butker at Benedictine College, which emphasized traditional roles for women and the importance of motherhood over career ambitions. Butker's speech suggested that women have been misled about their roles, with his wife, Isabelle, exemplifying fulfillment in her vocation as a homemaker and primary educator of their children. However, he overlooked key realities such as infertility, the importance of a "Plan B," and the possibility of balancing careers and family.The 1970s feminist movement aimed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for women's equal protection under the law. Though it passed the House and Senate, it failed to gain enough state ratifications due to fears of unintended consequences. Today, individual states have adopted similar policies, leading to ongoing debates about gender roles and parental rights.Butker's success and ability to support his family are commendable, but his views miss important points about modern realities. Homemaking is not a formal vocation, careers can wait, and technology offers new income options. The new feminist dynamic has created a Gender Gap, as highlighted by Kay Hymowitz in City Journal. Young women are increasingly left-leaning, creating a significant political divide. Mistrust between young men and women is growing, as seen globally, with high expectations from women not yet met by society.Dating and marriage norms have shifted, with women often discriminating against men from opposing political parties. This dynamic raises concerns about the future of relationships and the responsibilities of raising children. Government schools must represent community values, promoting the importance of two-parent families for the stability of US culture.The commentary concludes by questioning what values local schools are teaching and advocating for the representation of traditional family structures to provide security, love, leadership, and guidance for children, roles that the government cannot fulfill.Butker AddressGen Z's Gender StalemateSupport the Show.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

Rebecca Delahunt, our Director of Public Policy, joins the podcast to discuss updates on the surrogacy bill we've been tracking. Plus, she shares more details about the so-called Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Your hosts share highlights from MFC's Annual Dinner and the giving challenge of $200,000. Get the facts, stand for truth!

In January 2023, the New York legislature passed a proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for the second time, setting a ballot date for November 2024. The amendment seeks to ban discrimination based on various identifiers including sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity, among others. Proponents emphasize its potential to enhance abortion access post-Roe v. Wade. Critics, however, argue that the ERA could also advance gender ideology and weaken parental rights by enabling minors to access gender-affirming treatments without parental consent. They express concern that this could include treatments as significant as puberty blockers and genital surgery, facilitated by a broad interpretation of "person" in existing laws which include minors. Critics urge public awareness of these implications before the vote.The Louisiana House Committee on Education recently advanced House Bill 121, termed the "Given Name Act," which mandates the use of transgender and nonbinary students' birth names and pronouns in public K-12 schools, barring written permission from parents. This bill, passed along a 9-3 party-line vote, also allows school employees to refuse using certain pronouns contrary to their religious or moral beliefs. Further, it includes provisions for parents to request a teacher transfer if there's a disagreement on pronoun use based on teacher's convictions. The bill has been amended and progresses through the House, urging public engagement and monitoring.In Montana, a lawsuit has been filed by students, educators, and organizations challenging the 2021 law mandating parental notification 48 hours before discussing "human sexuality" in schools. The plaintiffs argue the law is vague, stifling free speech and educational quality, and threatens privacy and due process rights under the state Constitution. They contend the law prevents open dialogue on topics like gender identity and sexual health, limiting educational opportunities and potentially exposing LGBTQ+ students to further discrimination and bullying. Montana's government defends the law as protecting parental rights to oversee their children's exposure to sexually explicit content.Support the showDONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

The two cover questions including: -What is the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and why has it not been officially added to the Constitution despite being ratified by the necessary number of states?-Are women actually second class citizens in the United States?-How have political figures like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris approached the ERA, and what criticisms have been leveled against their actions or inactions?-In what ways could the ERA impact women's rights, particularly regarding abortion rights and gender equality in the workplace?-How does the discussion address the role of state constitutions and the federal constitution in protecting or failing to protect women's rights?-What are the historical challenges and political opposition that the ERA has faced since its introduction?-How have recent legal and political efforts aimed at getting the ERA published in the Constitution been received or obstructed?-What arguments are made concerning the potential effects of the ERA on military service and insurance policies for women?-How does the conversation critique the Democratic Party's reliance on gender equality issues for political gain without making substantial progress toward actual legal equality?-How does the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade affect the women's rights movement?-What is the US military's stance on women's right to choose?-Can women be drafted by the US military?Stay tuned till the end, when Natalie mentions how you can get involved in the fight for women's equality.Connect with Natalie WhiteFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/natalie.white.7186Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itswhitetrashConnect with Equal Means Equal Website: https://equalmeansequal.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/equalmeansequalmovie/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ERAEducationProjectInstagram: ht

Women's Equality Day is observed on August 26th in the United States, and commemorates the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Virginia Kase Solomón, the CEO of the League of Women Voters and a lifetime champion of civil rights and social justice, joins The Electorette to discuss the history of the women's suffrage movement, the passage of the 19th Amendment, and Women's Equality Day—which they've coined Women's Inequality Day to bring attention to the work that still needs to be done in the fight for equality. Solomón discusses the ways in which narratives around the Women's Suffrage Movement have been romanticized, and suggests ways to discuss this part of our history moving forward. We talk about Affirmative Action, and how the recent Supreme Court decision to end race-conscious admissions will ultimately affect all marginalized groups, including women. Lastly, we discuss the upcoming election cycle, and the importance of full participation, because as Solomón puts it, "We are voting for our lives."

Tim Hammond is a grassroots human rights activist who has been involved in numerous social change movements. As a teenager conscientiously opposed to fighting in Vietnam, he wrote copious letters to Congress urging an immediate end to the war. Tim has been committed to Congressional passage of the U.S. Peace Tax Fund Bill, which would re-direct the military portion of one's taxes (currently 50% of every dollar spent by the U.S. government) toward life-sustaining human services. He was active in raising public consciousness about women's rights and the need for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). In 1987 Tim was among hundreds of men and women arrested on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to protest its decision to uphold states' rights to legislate private sexual behavior among consenting adults in their own home (a decision the Court ultimately reversed in 2003). He was a member of the Children's Rights Network of Amnesty International/USA and a member of the National Organization on Male Sexual Victimization (now MaleSurvivor.org).  Key points: Tim introduces himself Activism and retaliation Circumcision in America Global Survey of Circumcision Harm Foreskin anatomy A brief history of foreskin restoration Advice for men who're interested in foreskin restoration Relevant links: Tim's survey of foreskin restorers: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-023-00686-5 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cam-fraser/message

Have you ever stopped to consider why the United States doesn't have an Equal Rights Amendment? Today's guest, Julie Suk, law professor and author, paints a compelling portrait of the 100-year battle for equal rights. Drawing from her profound books, We the Women, and After Misogyny: How the Law Fails Women and What to Do About It, we embark on an enlightening journey through the turbulent history of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the power of collective female action.A key figure in our conversation is Liz Holtzman, the woman who challenged the stagnation of the ERA. We chart the inspiring stories of trailblazing women such as Abigail Adams and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and discuss the potential implications of late ERA ratifications, the politics behind the seven-year deadline, and the current interpretation of the ERA by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, we tackle how the lack of childcare and maternity leave contributes to ongoing gender inequality. As we navigate this complex terrain, Julie introduces the fascinating concept of an equal power model. Unlike the anti-discrimination model, this alternative has propelled women's empowerment on a global scale. We examine the potential impact of the ERA and the pioneering work of figures like Pauli Murray and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who have made strides in pushing forward the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. This episode is a rich tapestry of history, law, and feminist theory that will leave you hungry for more.

In this episode of Cylinder Radio, my guest is Alice Crenshaw. Alice works for Equal Means Equal, an organization that is dedicated to the publication of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which I don't think is talked about enough.  During our conversation, we talk about why the Equal Rights Amendment is needed today and how it would protect everyone's rights regardless of gender. We explore various different viewpoints and arguments for and against the ERA, such as the abortion issue, men's paternity cases, transgender issues and the gender pay gap. We also talk a lot about how the military is actually much more progressive and diverse than most people give it credit for.   Lastly, Alice shares a ton of resources that you can check out if you are interested in supporting the ERA.

This week we're looking at the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which just died in the Senate when, on Thursday, Senate Republicans blocked a measure that would have allowed it to be added to the Constitution. Senators voted 51 to 47 to invoke cloture on a motion to proceed, falling short of the 60 votes it needed. For those unaware, the way a motion to invoke cloture works is after cloture is invoked, the Senate automatically proceeds to consider the measure on which cloture was invoked. In other words “yeah, yeah, yeah, let's put this to a vote.” Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) were the lone Republicans to vote with every Democrat. The Senate resolution would have removed the deadline so that the ERA could become the 28th Amendment. Understanding why the removal of the deadline is important requires a quick overview of the history of the ERA.And so, from the top. The ERA is  a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that seeks to guarantee equal rights for all citizens regardless of sex. The amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1923 and has been reintroduced in every session of Congress since then.The idea of an amendment to guarantee equal rights for women was first proposed by suffragist Alice Paul in 1921. She drafted the first version of the ERA, which read, "Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction."The ERA was introduced in Congress the following year, but it failed to gain traction. It wasn't until the women's rights movement gained momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, nearly a half-century later, that the ERA gained widespread support.In 1972, the ERA was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. The amendment stated, in relevant part:"SEC. 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.SEC. 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.SEC. 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification."The ratification process required approval from three-fourths of the states, or 38 states. Within a year, 30 states had ratified the amendment, and it seemed poised to become part of the Constitution.However, opposition to the ERA began to grow. Conservative groups, along with purpose-driven interest groups, argued that the amendment would erode traditional gender roles and family values. Some claimed that the ERA would lead to women being drafted into the military and losing their right to alimony and child support. Scare tactics and the usual “ah ah ah, be careful what you wish for” line of argumentation whenever notions of gender equality are discussed, in other words. These arguments resonated with many Americans, and the ERA quickly became a divisive issue. In 1978, Congress extended the deadline for ratification to 1982, but the amendment still fell short of the required 38 states. By the end of the deadline, only 35 states had ratified the ERA. Supporters of the amendment continued to push for ratification, but it remained in limbo for decades.In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the ERA. In 2017, Nevada became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, and Illinois followed suit in 2018. By 2020, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA, but it obviously did so after the last 1982 deadline to ratify the amendment had long passed. Further muddying the issue, in the intervening years several states — including Nebraska, Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky and South Dakota — attempted to remove their prior approval. Thus, opponents and even the Department of Justice have argued that the deadline for ratification has passed and that the ERA cannot be added to the Constitution. In 2020, a federal judge ruled that the deadline was indeed expired. Advocates for the ERA have continued pushing for it to be added to the Constitution through other means.Two methods are available for proposing amendments to the Constitution, as outlined in Article V. Congress may propose amendments by passing a joint resolution with a two-thirds vote, which was what was attempted here. Alternatively, a convention may be called by Congress in response to applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures. That has never happened and is unlikely to happen any time soon. So the current state of play in 2023 in the United States is that an amendment to the constitution restricting equality of rights under the law from being abridged on the basis of sex is a political non-starter.  Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Disney has filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis alleging that he has been using the government's power to damage the company amid a prolonged dispute over a contentious classroom bill. The complaint claims that DeSantis orchestrated a campaign to penalize Disney, which now threatens the corporation's business. This escalates the lengthy fight between DeSantis, who is expected to be a top Republican contender in the 2024 presidential race, and Disney, one of Florida's biggest employers. Disney opposed a Florida bill that restricted classroom discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity, and DeSantis and his allies subsequently aimed at the specific tax district that has allowed Disney to largely govern its Florida operations since the 1960s. On the same day the board of supervisors, which DeSantis picked to assume control over Disney's Orlando-area parks, filed the lawsuit, it moved to overturn a development agreement that it claims Disney made to thwart its authority. The suit claims that this action was the "newest strike" and that the development contracts "laid the foundation for billions of Disney's investment dollars and thousands of jobs." Disney is asking the court to declare the legislative move illegal and unenforceable. DeSantis' office responded by suggesting that the fight was about Disney's unique tax and governance privileges, not political retribution.For more on the DeSantis-Disney debacle, check out the soon-to-be-recorded latest episode of Esquiring Minds. My co-host, Jacob Schumer, is the expert on the subject and we'll be delving in to all things Disney when we record this evening. The episode should be up late tonight, or early tomorrow morning.  Disney sues Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, alleges political effort to hurt its businessA hearing in the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit could determine the legality of hundreds of OSHA workplace safety requirements. The case, brought by Allstates Refractory Contractors LLC of Waterville, Ohio, challenges the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to decide which safety hazards require regulation and what protections should be implemented. If the court rules against OSHA, it could strike down safety regulations dating back 50 years, covering hazards such as falls and electrocution. OSHA argues that over 50 years of court decisions support its safety rule-making powers, and that it is limited to issuing standards that are economically and technologically feasible. If OSHA standards were to be cancelled, state laws, workers' compensation, industry consensus standards, and fear of lawsuits may fill the regulatory gap. Judges Deborah Cook and Richard Allen Griffin, both appointed by President George W. Bush, and John Nalbandian, appointed by President Donald Trump, will hear the case.Legality of OSHA Safety Rules Challenged in Federal Appeals CaseThe U.S. Senate is set to vote on Thursday on a measure that could allow the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to be added to the Constitution, but it is likely to fail due to Republican opposition. The amendment, first proposed in 1923 and passed by Congress in 1972, would entitle women to equal pay and secure their rights in legal matters. Virginia became the 38th state to adopt the amendment in 2020, and a resolution now before the Senate would remove the deadline so that the amendment could go into effect. Proponents argue that the ERA is crucial at a time when women's rights are under threat, while opponents claim it could lead to making abortion rights constitutional and force women into military service. Regardless of the vote outcome, the ERA will face legal challenges, as some states that initially ratified it later rejected it – which is a perfect microcosm of the current state of toxic political discourse.US Senate to vote on Equal Rights Amendment, a century after introduction | ReutersMicrosoft's president, Brad Smith, criticized the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for blocking its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, saying it had shaken confidence in Britain as a destination for tech businesses. The CMA, which operates independently from the government, blocked the deal on Wednesday, saying it could hit competition in the nascent cloud gaming market. Smith said the decision sent the wrong message to the global tech industry about the UK and that if the government wants to bring in investment and create jobs, it needs to look hard at the role of the CMA, the regulatory structure in the UK, this transaction, and the message that the UK has just said to the world. However, a spokesman for the UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, said Smith's comments were "not borne out by the facts". Microsoft said it would appeal the decision with "aggressive" support from Activision. Appeals against CMA rulings are heard by the Competition Appeals Tribunal.Microsoft hits back at UK after Activision acquisition blocked | ReutersLegal AI startup Harvey has raised $21 million in fresh investor cash led by Sequoia Capital in a Series A fundraising round. Harvey, built on OpenAI's GPT-4, builds custom large language models for law firms. Several major firms have signed deals to adopt new AI products, such as Casetext's AI legal assistant product, CoCounsel, which uses GPT-4 to speed up legal research, contract analysis, and document review. Even early adopters of AI are cautious and highlight the need for testing and guardrails to protect confidential client data and avoid errors.As the use of AI in the legal space continues to grow, concerns around privacy and accountability are becoming increasingly relevant. The use of large language models and generative AI tools can potentially lead to the mishandling or exposure of confidential client information, which could have severe legal and reputational consequences for law firms. Additionally, AI systems can introduce bias into decision-making processes, perpetuating existing inequalities and injustices. This isn't just hypothetical, there are real world examples of this occurring, as in the Dutch AI tax case. There, AI was scapegoated as the cause of a disproportionate number of ethnic minorities being denied benefits and charged with fraud. The reality wasn't that the AI was racist, but the lawmakers that employed it were. It is crucial for policymakers and even law firms as well as AI developers to establish clear guidelines and protocols for the ethical and responsible use of these tools, including regular audits and risk assessments to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks.Legal AI race draws more investors as law firms line up | ReutersThe Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Roberts, has declined an invitation to testify at an upcoming Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focusing on judicial ethics. The committee's chairman, Senator Dick Durbin, had asked Roberts to appear before the panel to address potential reforms to ethics rules governing the justices, citing a "steady stream of revelations" regarding justices falling short of ethical standards.

Is the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) dead or alive? The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing at the end of February to consider a resolution that would recognize some state ratifications of the ERA that were completed decades after Congress's deadline. Originally proposed in 1923 and adopted by Congress in 1972, the ERA would add a sex equality guarantee to the U.S. Constitution. Does Congress have constitutional power to remove the ratification deadline? What should it do about the states that tried to rescind their ratifications? And what difference does the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs make to the future of women's constitutional rights?Kathleen Sullivan testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the ERA on February 28, 2023, in addition to the House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the same subject in 2019.  Sullivan is the former dean and professor of law at Stanford Law School, and currently senior counsel at Quinn Emanuel.

In this episode Valerie walks you through a historic tragedy to demonstrate what happens when a community is trained to obey authority over honoring common sense, conscience, and sound judgment.  Valerie takes you back to the 1970s and recounts LDS church headquarter's handling of the national Equal Rights Amendment [ERA] and how large numbers of church members gladly relinquished their own wisdom and judgement in the service of loyalty to the institution.  After tracing these fascinating events, Valerie shares several thoughts about what this cautionary tale can teach us about the dangers of a society that struggles cultivating in its membership spiritual discernment, psychological freedom, and agency to act according to conscience.  Even when earnest authority figures sincerely feel that they are protecting us by assuming the role of collective conscience governing personal, spiritual, and political choices, it is always our divine right and responsibility to own our own sacred consciences and act accordingly.   The book referenced in this episode is titled "The Mormon Hierarchy:  Extensions of Power" by D.

Day of Silence News Alert, 2019The Equality Act has not yet been passed into law by Congress, however just like the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) passed Congress in 1972, it failed to be ratified by enough of the 38 states needed for it to become part of the Constitution.  EQUALITY ACT, Daily Signal ArticleBut, like the ERA, most states have embraced many of the intended goals and adopted similar laws at the state level. For example, Oregon passed the  Equality Act into law in 2007. Oregonians have experienced all of the disturbing consequences of this dangerous misguided law as predicted by the Heritage Foundation in an article in 2019, when Nancy Pelosi delivered on her promise to introduce the so-called Equality Act, which would elevate sexual orientation and gender identity to protected classes in federal anti-discrimination law.Less than a week ago I received reports of parents who were threatened by school staff that is they did not affirm their child's decision to identify as the opposite sex, the district would report the parent to Child Protective Services.Oregon education policy is to protect the child's right to confidentiality to choose a different name than the one given to them at birth.

You may think the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which states “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex,” is already the law of the land, maybe, kind of. And it is, but it is complicated. To explain the history of the ERA of and what is happening now so we can get engaged, L. Joy brings Carol Jenkins, CEO of ERA Coalition, to the front of the class. But first, L. Joy gives us the primer we need on how we amend the Constitution and brings Vote Mama Candidate Spotlight Jen Jordan to the front of the class.

The nine part FX on Hulu mini series Mrs. America tells the story of the 1970s battle over the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which, spoiler alert, did not pass. While the series itself gives equal attention to the feminist activists who fought hard for the ERA, we focus on the conservative coalition of right-wing women that ultimately defeated the amendment. In this second of our two Mrs. America episodes, we focus on some of the women, real and fictional, who participated in the grassroots anti-ERA movement. Who were and are these women against equal rights? Why did they see the ERA as a threat to their identities as homemakers and “traditional women”? What roles did and can religion play in cementing white Christian women into right-wing politics - or in leading them to progressive values?

Professor Maxwell begins by situating the party politics after the 40s, with the Supreme Court standing behind Jim Crow laws, and the National Democratic Party being forced into a choice to either stick behind their southern force, or the unions and coalitions that drove their base after the New Deal, ultimately seeing the southern white democratic contingent secede into the Dixiecrats, leaving room for this conservative coalition in the south. Next, she works to unpack the differences between a long- and short-term view of the Southern Strategy, with the former moving beyond the years of Nixon and playing an essential role even in the Democratic victories of Carter and Clinton, before she works to outline the clear roles of racial resentment, with the Civil Rights Movement, and sexism, with the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and abortion fights, played in the GOP's Southern takeover, before shifting to the role of religion. She, Sam, and Emma dive into the complete absence of Democratic infrastructure in the South throughout the mid-to-late 20th Century – particularly when it came to unions, who made up much of their support – thus making Churches the biggest institutions of community infrastructure, in the midst of a massive ideological shift in Southern Baptist ministers to the right. Next, they turn to the role of Southern white women in bolstering the South electorally, as their religious infrastructure shifted towards fundamentalism, as they took on mass organizing to kill the ERA in their states, looking at feminism as a threat to motherhood, family, and Christianity. After touching on the role that religion played in the early aughts US imperialism and interventionism, Professor Maxwell moves to the contemporary role the strategy has played, looking at how the South, both for the GOP and Democrats, is central to setting the tone for primaries, and how Democratic messaging has to change in the south to begin to unpack and restructure voters' perspectives and beliefs on progressive policy goals. Sam and Emma also touch on how the month since the filibuster changed has obviously cemented the tool in the Senate, never to change again. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma are joined by Nomiki Konst as they cover the GOP and Democratic analysts coming to the bipartisan consensus that their bases are what's wrong, and walk through some of the worst and even worse invocations of MLK from yesterday, including Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's CRT bill, Crowder's dishonest honesty, and Eric Adams painting a picture of MLK as the baller hick from… Atlanta. Nomiki talks about Crypto bros and their ongoing attempt to recolonize Puerto Rico, Stinchfield admires the hysterical women that want national unity, and Jimmy Dore reminds us of the dangers of the white moderates that got in the way of Force the Vote, like AOC.

Episode discussion topics According to the constitution, we have the right to a separation between any church and the laws of our republic. This is also intended to insulate our system of self-rule from a set of outside influences. Our republic is intended to be a secular one. People should be free to practice religion, or not, without any state sponsorship of any one religion; including Protestantism, the religion of King Henry VIII, nor any other one. The United States has been a historic salad of faith systems, both rich in its diversity and choices for citizens to exercise their freedom. From the U.S. Bill of Rights, Constitutional Amendment I: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Take a moment to re-frame ourselves with some history, rather than this being a Christian or Judeo-Christian nation, it was Protestant to its origins. That was the Church the England that was brought over with the founders, not all of them of course. Today 6 of 9 Justices identify as having Catholic roots and the other 3 are Jewish. It doesn't sound very diverse and in fact, this is a major shift away from the historically Protestant backgrounds that justices used to have. We only highlight these facts because MVP and RWJ found them interesting. This court's decisions will show how true their loyalty is to our constitution. There are a number of civil liberties that are at risk given the make-up of our current courts as they are likely to perform an about-face march into the past. In reversing course, they will trample over many freedoms we enjoy today like to marry who we want or have children on our own terms. We may not be able to enjoy tomorrow, simply due to judicial reinterpretation of the constitution. Quite flippant if you ask us and will call into question, as it had happened in the past, the legitimacy of this third co-equal branch of our government. This final reminder that we should be left secure in our person-hood by the state according to the U.S. Bill of Rights, Constitutional Amendment IV: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated." Calls to Action: Explicitly amend the constitution to remove ambiguity from women's freedoms with the Equal Rights Amendment - ERA and also everyone else's with the Equality Act. These could mitigate the court's power to alter our lives at their whim or the minority rule circles in which they exist. Support congressional candidates that are open to establishing term limits on the Supreme Court, life-term appointments are too much now that we live so much longer: For context average life expectancy is now closer to the 80s and back when the court was established, life expectancy was merely 38 years. On top of that, we now have two of the youngest and arguably unwise appointments to the court that may serve for life, possibly 30 years or more based on average life expectancy. Become more aware of your state's supreme court justices and the positions they take on specific issues and whether they align with your values. Ask your U.S. Senator or House Member about unshadowing the shadow docket. We need more transparency for all federal courts, perhaps a C-SPAN for the courts? Your hosts: Michael V.

The nine part FX on Hulu mini series Mrs. America tells the story of the 1970s battle over the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which, spoiler alert, did not pass. While the series itself gives equal attention to the feminist activists who fought hard for the ERA, we focus on the conservative coalition of right-wing women that ultimately defeated the amendment. In this first ofr two Mrs. America episodes, we focus on the anti-ERA movement's leader: the writer and political organizer Phyllis Schlafly. Who was she? How did Schlafly's long history of right-wing activism affect her approach to feminism? What do we think of the show's portrayal of Schlafly - especially regarding how racism played into her politics? Join hosts Adrian Horton and Paul Adler as they dig deep into these and more questions.

Cori Simon (Assistant Professor, University of Oklahoma) speaks with Sarah Eppler Janda (Professor, Cameron University) and Patricia Loughlin (Professor, University of Central Oklahoma) about their new edited volume, This Land is Herland: Gendered Activism in Oklahoma from the 1870s to the 2010s (University of Oklahoma Press, 2021). This collection of essays documents the impact of women activists on the history of tribal nations and the state of Oklahoma, and is the first book in a new series “Women and the American West,” at the University of Oklahoma Press. The chapters showcase the stories and strategies of thirteen individuals, including Indigenous, Black, and white women, who strived to transform their communities through political, economic, or civil action. Progressive reformer Kate Bernard, civil rights activist Clara Luper, or Comanche leader LaDonna Harris might be known to some readers. But contributors highlight less-famous Oklahomans as well: including Cherokee historian and educator Rachel Caroline Eaton, NAACP organizer California M. Taylor, and Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) advocate Wanda Jo Peltier Stapleton. In this conversation, we learn about how the editors—colleagues and friends—conceived of the volume, recruited contributions from scholars at all stages of their careers, and modified the plan in response to feedback from contributors, colleagues, students, and readers. They provide an orientation to the volume's structure and briefly discuss each chapter before turning to reflect on how the history of women in Oklahoma intersects with broad national and global political movements for racial justice, gender equality, and sovereignty.

Welcome to the Her Two Cents Podcast where your hosts Laura Webb and Faith Doyle come together as two female financial advisors with over 40 years of collective experience to provide a multigenerational perspective on all things money. Our goal is that through these conversations, we can normalize the way women talk about and view money. August 26, 2021 is Women's Equality Day, but did you know that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has NEVER BEEN PUBLISHED. You read that right, our Rights as women are not guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, other than our right to vote. Ladies, this has to change! We deserve the same protections under the Constitution as our male peers. We should also be given the same priorities in court for discrimination as Race and Religion. Take a listen to understand the ERA further and what you can do about it.

Columbia University Law professor Katherine Franke joins CBS News congressional reporter Nikole Killion to discuss the status of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Initially proposed in 1923 and passed by Congress in 1972, the amendment would enshrine sex-based equality in the U.S. Constitution. Finally ratified by the required number of states in 2020, the status of the ERA remains an open question. Franke, head of the ERA Project at Columbia University's Center for Gender and Sexuality Law, explains the current roadblocks and additional steps required in order to have the Equal Rights Amendment officially added to the U.S. Constitution as the 28th Amendment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thank you for joining this week's edition of the Albany Update. Starting at the federal level, last week the U.S. House of Representatives reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and passed a resolution to remove the ratification deadline for the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution. Both of these innocuously named bills sound good at first blush, but leave social conservatives with significant concerns. Second, much to our organization's chagrin, recreational weed may see a floor vote as early as this week, but legislative negotiations over bill differences still persist. The pot proposal is far from finished. Then, state budget conversation revolving around additional casinos and tax breaks for existing ones are underway. In addition, mobile sports betting appears to be moving toward passage. Fourth, much has been made of the State Health Department's nursing home directive that led to an increased number of resident deaths, however there is a similar directive regarding state-operated group homes for the developmentally disabled and unlike the nursing home directive—it's still in effect. Finally, we believe in the power of prayer and our organization has a number of specific prayer needs to share with you. Let's get started. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/albanyupdate/support

Podcast on Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)

This week we chat with Composer Kris Bowers about his recent work on the Hulu show, Mrs. America and the challenges of completing his score during the COVID-19 pandemic. ABOUT KRIS BOWERS Emmy Award-winning composer and pianist, Kris Bowers, creates genre-defying music that pays homage to his jazz roots with inflections of alternative and R&B influences. The result is a sound rife with contradictions, a work of nuanced alchemy situated at the summit of his influences. A confluence of jazz greats, classical standards, and the alternative and experimental music of his youth, along with the cinematic storytelling of his most studied film scores. Bowers’ earliest musical inspirations were varied, transcending generation and genre to include work by artists such as Steve Reich, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, and Jimi Hendrix. As a young musician, Bowers brought the language of jazz to his covers of artists like Death Cab For Cutie, Tune-Yards, Radiohead, and Kendrick Lamar. Since 2013, the Juilliard-educated pianist has established himself at the forefront of Hollywood’s emerging generation of genre-defying composers. What sets Bowers apart is his unique ability to compose music that resonates across such a diverse continuum of artists, storytellers, and audiences. From scoring documentaries like Kobe Bryant’s Muse (SHOWTIME, 2015) and Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You (2016), to scripted series including Shonda Rhimes and Paul William Davies’ For The People (ABC), Netflix’s Dear White People, and SHOWTIME’S Black Monday (Exec. Produced by Seth Rogen & Evan Golberg), Bowers’ work as a film and television composer is a testament to his versatility as an artist. Bowers first made a name for himself in 2011, when he won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., where Aretha Franklin chose him as a favorite to win during the semi-finals concert. The win earned him a record deal with Concord Jazz, who later released his debut album, Heroes+Misfits, which opened at number one on the iTunes jazz chart in 2014. https://www.krisbowers.com ABOUT MRS. AMERICA Mrs. America tells the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, aka “the sweetheart of the silent majority.” Through the eyes of the women of the era – both Schlafly and second wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus – the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the 70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted the political landscape. Mrs. America features an all-star team in front of and behind the cameras. Two-time Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Cate Blanchett headlines as Phyllis Schlafly, leading a stellar cast portraying some of the most iconic women of the era, including Emmy Award nominated Rose Byrne as Gloria Steinem, Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale as Bella Abzug, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Uzo Aduba as Shirley Chisholm, Emmy Award nominated Elizabeth Banks as Jill Ruckelshaus, and Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Tracey Ullman as Betty Friedan. The cast also boasts Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Sarah Paulson, Emmy Award nominated John Slattery, Emmy Award nominated Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ari Graynor, Melanie Lynskey and Kayli Carter. Executive Producers are Emmy Award winner Dahvi Waller (Mad Men), who serves as creator and showrunner, Academy Award nominated Stacey Sher (Django Unchained, Erin Brockovich), Coco Francini, Cate Blanchett and Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck (Captain Marvel, Billions), who directed four of the nine episodes, including the first two.

He becomes caught between a Muslim community that thinks life is a moral test and a millennial generation that believes life has no consequences. Through it all, he's still trying to do the things that most 20-somethings do, like date. He is essentially a guy who is torn between praying on Fridays and going to parties on Friday nights. Which side will win out in this seemingly endless internal battle?Season FinalesKilling Eve (AMC/BBC America)Eve's life as a spy is not adding up to what she had hoped it would be when she started.

Breakout star, Bria Samoné Henderson has been tapped for a recurring role alongside Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Sarah Paulson, Margo Martindale, Uzo Aduba, Elizabeth Banks and Tracey Ullman in the HULU/FX drama miniseries, MRS. AMERICA. The nine-episode limited series from Emmy-winning writer Davhi Waller (Mad Men) and Oscar-nominated producer Stacey Sher, tells the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, played by Blanchett. MRS. AMERICA Henderson will play Ms. Magazine editor Margaret Sloan, an outspoken, funny, radical-thinking African American feminist and civil rights activist who marched with MLK. The out lesbian, single mother and accomplished poet, was an intersectional trailblazer in several cultural and political movements. Through the eyes of the women of that era - both Schlafly and second wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus - the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the 70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted our political landscape. Henderson recently starred in the National Black Theatre's production of The First Deep Breath by Lee Edward Colston II and directed by Malika Oyetimein. She received her MFA in acting from the University of Washington's Professional Actor Training Program. Henderson likes to explore her identity as a black woman on the roles she takes on. Not only is she an actress but also a spoken word poet, playwright, and solo show artist. The work she creates or is drawn to is political, intimate, playful, and reflective. She believes that performance/theatre art is therapeutic for all people and it's one of the only forms of expression that require communion. She thinks of herself as a vessel of art with her work becoming a mirror of the truth. When she is not on set, Henderson spends her time volunteering and helping others. She has spent most of her time tutoring youth, involving herself in the community and even traveled to Africa with "For My Sister." Alongside the volunteers, Bria assisted with lessons at a Nigerian school and created youth programs for girls. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Make sure to check out our YouTube video and subscribe to the channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh69ZSnZzc4&t=1s Today's EXTRA LONG episode breaks down the recent ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) by the State of Virginia. Since that's the 38th state (more than 3/4ths of the states), and the ERA also passed the Senate and the House of Representatives by more than 2/3 margin... does that mean that the ERA is now part of the Constitution? Listen and find out! We begin by diving right in to the ERA, starting with a lengthy deep dive into the history of the Amendment dating back to the early 1970s... which might make you nostalgic for the Republicans of old. Then, we talk about the complicated issues underlying the passage of the ERA, including the strange case of the 27th Amendment which lay dormant for two centuries before getting ratified by 3/4ths of the states in 1992. And if the 27th Amendment can lay dormant for more than 200 years, why can't the ERA? Well... we'll tell you some of the reasons why (and why not). After that, it's time to break down the Houston Astros cheating scandal, where we talk about our listeners' favorite topic: baseball law! Even if you're not a fan of baseball, we think you'll enjoy our breakdown. And after all that, it's time for the answer to #T3BE 165 involving jury instructions. Can Thomas keep his winning streak going?? There's only one way to find out! Appearances None! If you’d like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at openarguments@gmail.com. Show Notes & Links To catch up: We discussed Amendment 27 way back in Episode 11, and the Munsingwear doctrine in Episode 181. The Supreme Court last weighed in on the Equal Rights Amendment in 1982. The two cases we discuss in context are Dillon v. Gloss, 256 U.S. 368 (1921) and Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433 (1939).

Disregarding the time limit placed upon it by the Congress that passed the so-called Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and sent it to the states for ratification, ERA advocates have begun a push for ratification of the proposed amendment, which was rejected by the states years ago. This lawless attitude — that it does not make any difference what Congress did in 1972 (or even in 1979, when Congress even gave ERA proponents three more years to get the amendment ratified) — is typical of progressives who routinely circumvent or ignore the clear wording of the Constitution when it suits them, and should also be a wake-up call for conservatives who are supporting a Constitutional Convention (or Convention of States as some choose to call it).

The Commonwealth of Virginia becomes the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), but the deadline to make it the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution expired years ago. The courts may now decide. What's wrong with looking the other way on the niceties of the law, and letting women rejoice in knowing they enjoy full equality under law with men?

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Lee Stranahan, co-host of Fault Lines on Sputnik News Radio.Well, hear ye, hear ye, the historic trial of US President Donald Trump, the 46th chief executive of the US, has begun. On Thursday, the House of Representatives impeachment managers entered the Senate chamber, where their leader, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), read the articles of impeachment against Trump aloud to the assembled senators. The reading initiates the presidential impeachment trial, only the third in American history. A lot of developments continue to unravel. What are we to make of this?"Women's rights advocates celebrated Wednesday as the Virginia legislature became the 38th in the nation to approve the Equal Rights Amendment, nearly 100 years after activists first called for equality between men and women to be enshrined in the US Constitution," Common Dreams reported. "The approval of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) by Virginia's state Senate and House means that the required three-quarters of US states have now voted to ratify the amendment, which was passed by Congress in 1972." As significant as this event is, there are problems.When it comes to China, here in the West, we have been led to believe that it is a tyrannical, oppressive and politically backward dictatorship that is oppressing millions of Muslims in the Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Kate Kelly On this episode, I discuss the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) with passionate advocate and activist for women's rights, Kate Kelly. We discuss the role that the state of Virginia will play in finally ratifying the ERA, after it was introduced nearly a century ago. About Today's Guest: In 2013 Kate Kelly founded a group called Ordain Women to advocate for gender equality in the Mormon Church. She was convicted of apostasy by 3 male Mormon leaders & excommunicated from the church in June 2014 for speaking out against the institutional oppression of women.

We discuss the insane revelation that FISA warrants were issued, allowing the US to spy on American citizens and that those warrants contained 17 errors or omissions, in other words, lies. If you or I did this with our insurance application or say our IRS statement we'd most likely end up in jail. Also, we discuss how Hollywood has decided to resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as its next battle and is using Madam Secretary and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, to push their agenda. Both television shows repeated the very same lie about conservative giant Phyllis Schafly and her history of activism. We make sure to correct the record.

Anti family activists have been pushing for the Orwellian named "Equal Rights Amendment" (ERA) for over 40 years. The time for its ratification came and went decades ago but abortion and gay activists have teamed up and are shopping judges to force it through if they can get just one more state to "ratify" the amendment. Dr. Scott Bradley goes deep into this topic Dr. Bradley's website is http://www.freedomsrisingsun.comBecome a member of Defending Utah http://www.defendingutah.org/page/membershipPlease visit our sponsors:http://www.gonusmile.com/http://www.highercallingfirearms.comhttp://www.americanappliancehvac.comhttp://www.blacklotuswebdev.comhttp://www.andersenaccounting.com

The E.R.A., a proposed amendment to the Constitution, would guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It would also require states to intervene in cases of gender violence, such as domestic violence and sexual harassment; it would guard against pregnancy and motherhood discrimination; and it would federally guarantee equal pay. Duration 00:05:45. From the N.Y. Times. ERA could be back in Congress soon. Why does the E.R.A. matter? Because women don’t currently have equal protection under the United States Constitution. By some estimates, 80 percent of Americans mistakenly believe that women and men are guaranteed equal rights, but the only right the Constitution explicitly extends to both men and women is the right to vote. The E.R.A., a proposed amendment to the Constitution, would guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It would also require states to intervene in cases of gender violence, such as domestic violence and sexual harassment; it would guard against pregnancy and motherhood discrimination; and it would federally guarantee equal pay. So just one more state is needed for the E.R.A. to move forward? It’s a start. Aside from finding another state to ratify, the 1982 deadline would need to be repealed or overruled — an effort to do so is currently in the works by Jerry Nadler, the House judiciary chairman, Robles-Román and Jenkins said. (There are questions about whether a deadline can in fact be imposed for ratifying an amendment.) Another potential obstacle: Five states have since rescinded their ratifications, though the Constitution speaks only to a state’s power to ratify an amendment, not to the power to rescind a ratification, which may lead to another legal entanglement. Regardless, there’s renewed hope among supporters, especially with the House now in Democratic control and more women than ever in office. So much of this now is the energy and the momentum. Full story at:  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/us/equal-rights-amendment-what-is-it.html    The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters.[1] The ERA was originally written by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman, and was first introduced in Congress in December 1923 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment    History of the Equal Rights Amendment https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/the-equal-rights-amendment  National Equal Rights Alliance Inc.   https://www.2passera.org/  Sandy Oestreich sandyo@PassERA.org   https://www.facebook.com/sandy.oestreich.3?ref=br_rs

Author and speaker Christina Hoff Sommers joins the podcast today to speak about the potential harms of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and what women should be on the lookout for.

Today's episode is a little heavier than most. We combined our News in Florida and the Around the World & Nation segments to talk about the child detention center in Homestead, Florida. This particular topic will NOT be easy to hear about. If you feel that you cannot listen to it, you can skip ahead to our Hillsborough Closeup segment after the recap. Here's what we talk about in today's episode: Public Service Announcement: You may have heard about how Amendment 4, the law that says that re-enfranchised ex-felons and reversed a Jim Crow-era law that kept 1 in 5 black Floridians from voting, is going to be virtually unenforceable because of a bill that the state legislature passed to require them to pay their fines. It's not going into effect until July 1st. Anyone that might be affected by the new bill should register to vote before July 1st! News in Florida/Around the Nation: WARNING- this segment will not be easy to hear about. It is about the for-profit child detention center in Homestead, Florida that is operated by Caliburn International Corporation. We talk about what life is like for the children right now and how their situation is about to get even worse because of the cuts to aid. Then, we discuss the financial and political side of the story. We tried to stay as closely as possible to the facts, but there comes a point where you have to say that you don't accept this. We cannot accept this and we should make it clear to our representatives that they shouldn't accept this, either. Hillsborough County Closeup: After the hard-hitting segment before, we thought we might lighten things up by talking about how your child can become a firefighter and what that process looks like. In our last podcast, we talked about how we don't have enough fire stations for the amount of people we have living in Hillsborough County. These guys are out risking their lives for us. We should do what we can to support them. All About Science: Debbie follows our theme of talking about firefighters and fire stations by talking about how fires get started. We do live in the lightning capital of the world, after all. Did You Know: Fran has been talking about voting and why people don't vote. In today's episode, she talks about voter suppression based on some of the bills our state legislature has passed and that Governor DeSantis has signed, including one that makes it harder for Floridians to vote on amendments to our state constitution. And finally, we had a wonderful interview with Barbara Scinta about the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and how Florida could be the state that ratifies it.

Senator Richard “Dick” Cohen has worked on numerous bills and legislation over the years, including the “spouse abuse” bill, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the Legacy Amendment.

Did you know that men and women are not considered equal under the US Constitution? Yes, you read that correctly. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a bipartisan movement to guarantee equal rights for all US citizens regardless of gender. There needs to be 38 states to ratify (approve) this legislation so Congress can add it to the US Constitution. Currently, only 37 states have ratified it. It's Women's History Month and this is the perfect time to bring up this relevant issue. I chat with Jamia Wilson, the Executive Director of the Feminist Press, about her advocacy fighting for the ERA, why the ERA is so important, and what we can do to ensure this legislation moves forward. Jamia and I both want to tell our future children that they live in a place where both genders are considered equal under the US Constitution.

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) technically expired on June 30, 1982, the ratification deadline set by Congress, but a renewed push to resurrect and ratify this constitutional amendment gained momentum in 2017, with ratification by Illinois and Nevada. Now, ERA proponents are looking to secure ratification in a  38th state, which would round out the necessary three-fourths majority of the states required to pass an amendment. Two leading voices on either side of the debate over the ERA – Linda Coberly, chair of the national ERA Coalition Legal Task Force, and Inez Stepman, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum – join host Jeffrey Rosen to detail the potential constitutional, legal, political, and cultural effects of adding the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.  Questions or comments about the podcast?

Now, ERA proponents are looking to secure ratification in a  38th state, which would round out the necessary three-fourths majority of the states required to pass an amendment. Two leading voices on either side of the debate over the ERA – Linda Coberly, chair of the national ERA Coalition Legal Task Force, and Inez Stepman, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum – join host Jeffrey Rosen to detail the potential constitutional, legal, political, and cultural effects of adding the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.  Questions or comments about the podcast?

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast series Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Lucy Beard, Executive Director of the Alice Paul Institute, and Roberta “Bobby” Francis, founding Chair of the ERA Taskforce of the National Council of Women’s Organizations and the current ERA Education Consultant for the Alice Paul Institute, to discuss the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA.)   Celebrating our 100th episode today, Aaron, Lucy and Bobby sit down to discuss the Equal Rights Amendment, today’s political climate, and the idea of equal protection for everyone under the law. Is the ERA more relevant than ever? And more so, is it finally close to being ratified? Lucy, Bobby, and Aaron attempt to answer these questions as Lucy and Bobby explain what the ERA actually is, the history of the proposed amendment, and the opposition it has faced throughout the past decades. Today’s conversation centers around why and how the ERA is not yet part of our country’s constitution and takes a fascinating look at the possible roots to ratification.   Throughout the episode, Lucy explains Alice Paul’s history and devotion to the gender equality movement, specifically her passion for the ERA, as well as her own dedication to the cause. Spearheaded by a group of ERA activists in the ‘70s and ‘80s, the Alice Paul Institute is an organization created to remember Alice Paul and her life’s work but also to emphasize the importance of women’s history through preserving the physical spaces in which this history was made. Lucy explains that Alice’s childhood home became the site of the institute and is now on the historical registry. Working with the institute for 25 years, Lucy says that it is a place to keep Alice’s work going.   Bobby has also been involved with gender equality for decades. She is the founding chair of the ERA taskforce of the National Council of Women’s Organizations, an American non-profit that is composed of more than 100 women’s organizations and now works closely with the Lucy and the Alice Paul Institute as their ERA Education Consultant. Bobby expresses the importance of education and awareness, especially in today’s politically dynamic world, and shares her own views on the future of the ERA.   To learn more about the Alice Paul Institute, visit their website. Throughout their website is a wealth of information on the ERA and the specifics of how to get involved, including PR materials and educational toolkits: http://www.alicepaul.org/   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Lucy Beard, Roberta “Bobby” Francis   Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.law-podcast.com

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed Constitutional amendment that would explicitly guarantee legal equality under U.S. law, regardless of sex. But almost a century after it was first proposed, the ERA has still not been ratified. What's the hold-up? Lillian Cunningham is a journalist at The Washington Post. She's also host and creator of the podcasts Presidentialand Constitutional.

If Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could add anything to the US Constitution, it would be an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)--and Cristen and Caroline are on a mission to make that happen. Today, we talk to filmmaker and activist Kamala Lopez about the century-long fight for an ERA, why we still need one, and the unladylike power we have to finally get a constitutional IUD to protect our rights from unplanned politics.

Look no further than Illinois State University for evidence of the degradation of public education. In addition to hosting an annual drag queen fundraiser in the Bone Student Center, Illinois State University owns a fake news organization: WGLT. The call letters come from the school’s increasingly ill-fitting motto: “Gladly we learn and teach.” WGLT, a public radio station and, therefore, an affiliate of Equal Rights Amendment (NPR), came to Illinois Family Institute’s (IFI) attention when a short article about IFI’s robo-calls warning Illinoisans about the campaign to resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) decades after its expiration date began …

Like Medusa, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has reared its chthonic head again, and this time its wearing a silly pink hat over all those snakes. Here’s what the ERA actually says: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Since the ERA says precisely nothing about women, why do feminists continue to claim that it’s all about women’s rights? In fact, the harm the ERA will cause will befall primarily to women… Read more……

Bathroom Bills & The Dialectic of Oppression Political discourse situated around the minority use of bathrooms has featured significantly in numerous social equality struggles, from the fight to preserve racist Jim Crow laws to the sexist battle to keep the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) from being ratified. Rhetorical themes featuring bathrooms, privacy, and safety concerns are integral aspects of a specific and identifiable political dialectic used to incite, promote, and sustain the fear that an oppressed group may well rape, molest, harass or infect the majority group should equality between the two groups come to pass. In contemporary times, this political dialectic features prominently in narratives supporting North Carolina’s recently passed law mandating that transgender people who’ve not been able to amend their birth certificate use the restroom assigned to them at birth rather than the restroom that matches their transitioned status, irrespective of legal identification or phenotype. Proponents of laws like North Carolina’s so-called “bathroom bill” assert that these laws are needed to ensure that A.) the privacy of cisgender people is respected; B.) without these laws, rapists will dress in drag in order to molest little girls in the restroom; and, C.) transgender people are actually perverts and pedophiles who need to be prevented from accessing women’s restrooms... ------------------------------------------------------- Support the TransAdvocate at: https://www.patreon.com/transadvocate ------------------------------------------------------- Other versions: Article: http://transadvocate.com/the-politics-of-transphobia_n_18825.htm Video: https://youtu.be/OgPP00YLT8Q ------------------------------------------------------- TransAdvocate: Web: https://transadvocate.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/transadvocate FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/transadvocate ------------------------------------------------------- Audio: 1.)
