Constitution should protect gender equality
On Jan. 27, 2020, the Equal Rights Amendment was fully ratified and went from having a name to having a number: 28. Although the Department of Justice temporarily blocked the National Archivist from certifying the 28th Amendment, one administration cannot halt America s progress toward equality forever.
Until now, gender equality has existed as piecemeal law, both in federal law and in state law. This is insufficient. What Americans have needed all along is foundational law. With the 28th Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment, we can fix the gender equality gap in our Constitution, bringing our country one step closer to liberty and justice for all.
