It’s almost 2020. Women still don’t have equal protections under the United States Constitution, but Utah has an opportunity to change that.
Congress passed the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972 and sent it to the states to ratify, to which 35 of them did. 45 years later, in 2017 and 2018, Nevada and Illinois became the 36th and 37th states in the union to ratify the Amendment. The U.S. is just one state short of the 38-state requirement for adoption of the ERA.
We want Utah to be the 38th state! Utah men and women enjoy equal protections under our state constitution, but they are not protected equally on the federal level. Utah has a chance to elevate equality to the rest of the country and enshrine equal protections from sexual discrimination in our most sacred document - the Constitution of the United States.
Please join us in supporting this historic opportunity for Utah to lead the way and lift the country where it needs to be. One value we can all agree on is that everyone deserves an equal shot. Let's do this, Utah!

The Utah legislators are still hiding from us while they pretend the Equal Rights Amendment is not a priority. I am currently mapping out every single district where you confirmed your support so we can corner them at their offices. Their stalling tactics only prove that they are terrified of true equality.

84043 - Utah County! Yes, most folks believe this has already happened, let's make it actually happen!
This needs to happen, Utah can be the educated, growth minded place we want to live.
Utah should be the state to do this! Happy to plead with my state representatives about it, too. (We’re in Draper, 84020.)
I live in zip code 84105 and am signing this petition because it is more than time that the Equal Rights Amendment is ratified. Let Utah be the state that makes it happen.
We can only hope the unfounded fears of 1972 have been put to rest. Let's move forward with this necessary amendment.
The time is now for you to be in the right side of history and pass the ERA now, thank you.
