The Equal Rights Amendment says one thing: equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. Congress passed it in 1972. When Virginia ratified it in 2020, it reached the 38 states the Constitution requires — and it still isn’t in the Constitution, because the National Archives won’t certify it over a deadline Congress wrote into the preamble, not the amendment. Gloria Steinem spent her life fighting for it and died this month without seeing it recognized. Women’s equality shouldn’t depend on which statutes survive the next Congress or which rights the next court decides to take back. Congress has the power to settle it. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to co-sponsor and vote for the resolutions affirming the Equal Rights Amendment as ratified — H.J.Res. 80 in the House and S.J.Res. 38 in the Senate — and to make equality under the law the 28th Amendment.
