NWLC Commends President Biden’s Affirmation of the Equal Rights Amendment
Washington, DC – President Biden today issued a statement recognizing the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th amendment to the Constitution and the law of the land.
Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, issued the following statement in response:
“Today has been 50 years in the making and follows decades of advocacy. We applaud President Biden for affirming the will of the people and equality for all women and girls in the final days of his historic presidency. As the freedoms of women and girls are already on the line, we need every single legal tool and protection to defend against attacks on gender justice, abortion, safe and inclusive schools, equitable workplaces, and LGBTQ rights. President Biden’s statement recognizes the powerful protections that the Constitution provides in those fights.”
