Comments: Good to air for Women's Equality Day (US), August 26th - but also good any time.
As of 2024, the required number of states have now ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution; there is a campaign on to override the nearly-unique time limit that Congress imposed, and publish the amendment as passed. Organizations actively working on this campaign include The Young Feminist Party and Equal Means Equal.
