our best bet to restore reproductive rights

DEVELOPING FROM WASHINGTON:
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand introduces a resolution to certify the Equal Rights Amendment and enshrine reproductive rights in the Constitution.

Friend, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would establish that our civil rights cannot be infringed upon or taken away on the basis of gender. Activists have been fighting for nearly 100 years to add this amendment to our Constitution — and we can't wait any longer.

Since Kirsten announced this resolution, so many Democrats have already added their names to stand with her and show their support for the ERA. Now, we've set a HUGE end-of-month goal to reach 75,000 signatures, and we're counting on your help to do it!

Please, friend, it's time to raise our voices as one and DEMAND gender equity — will you join us?

SIGN THE PETITION

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, they took away the right for half of the population to access the health care they need. It's discrimination based on sex — plain and simple. Adding the ERA to our Constitution would give us a legal basis to restore reproductive rights across the entire country.

Right now, we're closer than ever before to certifying the ERA: 38 states have ratified it, and it's just one signature away from being added to the Constitution. But an arbitrary deadline is stopping us from finally certifying this amendment!

That's why Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has introduced new legislation that would establish that this deadline should not stop us from certifying the ERA. With bipartisan support and filibuster reform, we can pass this legislation, finally establish gender equality in our Constitution and restore reproductive freedoms nationwide.

This is a crucial moment in our fight for gender equality and reproductive rights. Kirsten needs to know where grassroots activists like you stand on the ERA. Please, will you add your name before midnight tonight to show Kirsten that you support the ERA? She's counting on 75,000 signatures before our end-of-month deadline!

SIGN THE PETITION

A note from Kirsten:

Friend, I can't thank you enough for standing by my side in the critical fights ahead of us. As Democrats face our toughest Senate map in decades, I need your help more than ever.

While Republicans only have to defend 10 seats in 2024, Democrats have to defend 23 – and if the GOP flips just two of them, it will deliver Senate control back to Mitch McConnell. Now, experts at FiveThirtyEight are saying that the GOP has a clear path to the majority.

As right-wing special interests gear up to pour millions into flipping the Senate, we need to fight back right now. But I refuse to take a single cent from corporate PACs, which means I'm relying on your grassroots support. So please, chip in to help defend our narrow Democratic Senate majority. And if you'd like to become a core member of my team and receive exclusive texts from my campaign, text JOIN to 60708.

Thank you,

Kirsten Gillibrand
