A Suffrage Centennial this year to always remember. Is this going to happen?
It’s the 100th year anniversary of US women working for an amendment to the US Constitution. And we’re committed to expanding equality guarantees, not limiting the rights of women to speak their truth and be in charge of the big decisions impacting their lives.
There are 280+ partners in the national ERA coalition. Spread the word.
THE VOLUNTEERS WORKING FOR SUFFRAGECENTENNIALS.COM ARE EXHAUSTED
suffragecentennials.com supports adding an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution that guarantees equal rights in the US Constitution regardless of sex. We stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. And a torch has been passed to others who are carrying on the work now and in the future. We are facing an enormous challenge. It appears as if the 100-year anniversary will come and go without a peep unless we add to the ERA support.
A BIG QUESTION FOR US ALL TO FACE
Will the United States be successful in passing an amendment to the US Constitution? Maybe. We encourage our everyone to honor the activism and sacrifices of those who have come before us, receive the equality torch, and carry on the support work.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE PHRASE “WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY”
We have accomplished a great deal. If the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment hadn’t been successful, there wouldn’t have been as much recognition today of the enormous accomplishment of US women standing up for our rights. In 2023, however, it will have been 100 years since US women will have been working on an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THE EQUALITY OUTCOME IS UP TO US?
It’s up to present-day generations of women to address this question and honor those who have come before us. We have been working for 100 years for an amendment to the US Constitution guaranteeing equal rights. This unfinished business must be addressed.

Happy March and Women’s History Month! Activism is urgent NOW!
NEWS FLASH:
The House and Senate have introduced new joint resolutions affirming the validity of the Equal Rights Amendment (HJ Res 25 and SJ Res 4), and there will be a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing sometime soon, followed by a vote.
According to the ERA Coalition, there are a lot of moving pieces to all of this, but the most important piece is YOU! Call your members of Congress and send them messages asking them to sign as cosponsors of the new resolutions! Write an OpEd to your local paper, explaining the need for the ERA and why it’s so important.
Special thanks to those visionaries of a different generation and today who have believed in women’s history so much that they created the month of March to celebrate. They are continuing the work and passing a torch to others who are moving the work forward. Tens of thousands of volunteers from many backgrounds worked within limitations and passed a torch to future generations. The dedication and persistence continues.
SuffrageCentennials.com is focusing on an equal rights amendment passed and placed into the US Constitution. The women in the United States have been working on an ERA for 100 years.

Hearing on an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution today…
2023…US women have been working nonviolently for 100 years for an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution. You can watch online and take in the process. It’s easy to throw good money into weapons. It’s uphill to insist on making progress nonviolently. Women and children are targeted as servants in this nation. Let’s keep these equality issues alive!

February is a terrific month for an ERA…new legislation introduced!
FROM: cwest@eracoalition.org
Washington, DC –– Following the news that Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives and Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) introduced a bipartisan resolution in the Senate to remove the time limit on ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.
Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the amendment in January of 2020, thus fulfilling all constitutional requirements set forth in Article V. However, Congress arbitrarily inserted a seven-year time limit for ratification with a three-year extension when it proposed and passed the ERA in 1972. Even though the ERA has met all the constitutional requirements for an amendment, making it both valid and enforceable today, it has yet to be published as part of the Constitution. To eliminate any doubt that the ERA is now the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, Congress should vote to support the joint resolutions proposed today affirming the Equal Rights Amendment and removing the arbitrary time limit.
The date of January 27, 2022 ended a two-year waiting period for the ERA to go into effect after meeting all the constitutional requirements. The Attorneys General in two of the last three states to ratify the ERA, Nevada and Illinois, are suing the U.S. Archivist to force publication of the ERA to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA Coalition will continue pursuing all avenues to push for full recognition.
BACKGROUND AND THE ROLE OF SuffrageCentennials.com
We’re a member of the ERA Coalition, a group that’s acutely aware of the fact that 2023 is the 100th anniversary of US women working for an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution.
An article in Ms. Magazine delivered a truckload of caution the other day about believing passage of legislation designed to lift the time limits is right around the corner. An article published 1/31/2023 by Roxy Szal says that Republican Party elected representatives are opposed and many in the US Senate are part of an effort to stall any movement forward.
Is there any hope? Miracles can still happen.
