Nevada NOW: The ERA
We are proud that Nevada led the way in reenergizing the ERA movement, after 45 years, when we became the 36th state to ratify in 2017 thanks to Sen. Pat Spearman and Nevada activists. It is past time for women to have Constitutional Equality. However, we still need help to get the 28th Amendment published and that is where we need your help today.

ERA Coalition
The ERA Coalition’s goal is to amend the Constitution to ensure that one cannot be discriminated against because of one’s sex. The ERA Coalition is comprised of some 250 national and local partner and supporter organizations across the country representing millions of advocates working for the equality of all.

National NOW Constitutional Equality
NOW is a proud supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment and prioritizes Constitutional equality in our work. We are closer than ever to having the ERA enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, giving women explicit protections in our nation’s highest law.
