To the Editor:
In January 2020, Virginia became the 38th and final state needed for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). First introduced in 1923, the ERA finally received bipartisan congressional approval in 1972. It then went to the states for ratification. The required three-quarters of the states (38) have finally ratified, making the ERA qualified to become the 28th Amendment.
Now it sits on the desk of the National Archivist, who was instructed by the previous administration not to certify Virginia’s ratification stating the “deadline had expired.” Congress extended the deadline for the ERA in 1978. Congress can do it again. Despite the delay, ERA proponents expect our new pro-equality administration to publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment in 2021.
