September 2019: ERA Activists Zoe Nicholson and Senator Pat Spearman

Thank you to everyone who joined us this month for a incredibly energizing meeting on the ERA! We were so lucky to be joined by ERA and Civil Rights activists State Sen. Pat Spearman and Zoe Nicholson! Cosponsors included Emerge Nevada, League of Women Voters of Southern Nevada, Indivisible OWLS, Moms Demand Action, and Paradise Indivisible. Thank you to all!

If you were unable to attend or would like more information on how to help, please click here. The nation’s political attention is on the 2019 state legislative races in Virginia on November 5. To help ensure the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia and become the 38th state needed, they must elect at least 4 four more “equality champions” to put the Virginia legislature’s leadership in the hands of pro ERA lawmakers. Nevada can help make this happen!
