Our work to see the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is at the root of our commitment to equality, racial justice, reproductive rights and justice, equal pay, and other issues; and we think voting rights are critical to all of this. It is the most fundamental of all our rights, and really underscores everything else.

Join the Sentinels of The Long Beach Suffrage 100 in the Last Stand for Voting Rights and the Equal Rights Amendment. This is our final gathering as the LB Suffrage 100.
We all know that Suffrage is Unfinished Business. The vote is our voice and it is in jeopardy across the U.S. Stand with us for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, The For The People Act, and the Equal Rights Amendment. These constitutional rights all rely on abolishing the filibuster.
At this exact same time, thousands of women will be standing on the steps of the Supreme Court for the ERA. It has never been closer to passage. We cannot miss this moment to assure Constitutional equality for all.
Wear a Mask & Bring a Sign & Stand for the VOTE
