I wanted to ensure you received this note from Dolores Huerta. I’m reaching out to you because we haven’t seen you take action yet! It’s not too late to make a difference here. Please take action now and urge Senator Sinema to support an end to the filibuster and clear a path for the ERA to be added to the United States constitution once and for all.
You can even Tweet at her @SenatorSinema to raise the pressure!
Thanks,
KS

Listen up, Common Ills — we have work to do.
As a proud member and leader of Feminists to End the Filibuster, I am anxious that we have not raised enough of our voices yet, and I need your help.
Our next step as a movement is to focus on those Senators who will make or break an end to the filibuster. One of those key Senators will be Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona.
It is critical we end the filibuster — not only for the ERA, but also for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for Dreamers, for passage of federal voting rights legislation and S1 For the People Act, to raise the minimum wage, to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, deal with climate change, pass commonsense gun laws, reduce violence against women, and increase access to reproductive rights and justice.
We must not let a single senator stand in the way of equal rights. Please join me in calling on Senator Sinema to take a stand to end the filibuster now.
Senator Kyrsten Sinema was once a clear progressive voice for equal rights, but now, she is one of the few Senators who hang in the balance of making or breaking an end to the filibuster to clear the way for equal rights.
And with an estimated 1 million more women than men having lost their jobs during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and the pandemic revealing that most essential workers are women, most of them are Black and Latina, and most still have the majority of caregiving responsibilities — these along with other economic realities make constitutional rights for women more urgent than ever before.
The new reality of 2021 demands that Congress approve the ERA resolution. It will mark a historic commitment to women’s rights by ensuring equality under the law for current and future generations.
Please join me in demanding action now.
Sí Se Puede!
