Last Friday, in one of his last acts before leaving office, President Biden issued a statement recognizing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution and declared the ERA to be the law of the land. For decades, NCJW has mobilized millions of advocates to make the ERA a reality and now we celebrate this recognition.

So what exactly does this recognition mean for our rights? And as we turn the page on a new administration, there are many more questions. Does the ERA have legal standing as the 28th Amendment? How can we use it to protect our rights? And, what’s next in the fight for gender equality?

Join us this Friday, January 24 at 12:00 PM ET for A Century in the Making: ERA Yes!, a webinar for the Jewish community about the ERA victory as well as its future. We will cover the legal confusion, what the president’s statement means, where the ERA stands, and how the fight is not over.

You won’t want to miss our speakers, including Sheila Katz, CEO of National Council of Jewish Women; Kate Kelly, ERA expert and Senior Director for the Women’s Initiative at Center for American Progress; Zakiya Thomas, President and CEO of the ERA Coalition and ERA Coalition Forward, Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch, CEO of Women of Reform Judaism, and more! Co-sponsored by Keshet, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, Women of Reform Judaism, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Zioness, and Bend the Arc.
