Women's Equality Coalition Greater KC

Pushing Back Marching Forward!

[ERA Coalition @ERACoalition]

Thank you Sen. @lisamurkowski for standing up for equality and for the Equal Rights Amendment. 100 years is too long to wait for constitutional sex equality.

[ERA Coalition Forward @4womensequality]

Reproductive healthcare is a fundamental right for all individuals, regardless of their gender. The Equal Rights Amendment can help ensure that everyone has equal access to the care they need.

[ERA Caucus @ERACaucus]

Today, our colleagues in the Senate must choose to stand with a century of advocates and vote YES for constitutional gender equality.

The time to remove the time limit for the Equal Rights Amendment is NOW. #Senate4ERA

Decades of military occupation, most recently that led by the US, have fueled fundamentalist forces in Afghanistan, and have cost the women of Afghanistan their lives, livelihoods and well-being.👇

Today we celebrate the late Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin’s birthday!
Born and raised in Boston, Josephine was a suffragist and civil rights activist, and editor of The Women’s Era, the first newspaper published by and for African-American women.

We don’t have a labor shortage. We have a shortage of good wages, and it’s disproportionately affecting women—especially women of color—who make up two-thirds of low-wage workers.

Raise the wage now.

[National Women's Political Caucus @NWPCNational]

The National Women’s Political Caucus stands strongly opposed to the blatantly racist and misogynist murders that took place on 3/16 in Atlanta.

Members of the @womensfunding, including The Women's Fund, issued a statement of solidarity that condemns violence and systemic racism and misogyny against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI).

AT 10 on @41actionnews.

Alvin Sykes was a civil rights icon not only locally but nationally.

He passed away today at just 64-years old.

Sykes worked to reopen cold cases from the civil rights era. He also helped get the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Act of 2007 passed.

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

Equal time, equal access, equal facilities, equal treatment.

The #NCAA must do better.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I got vaccinated against COVID-19 because we know it’s the best way to beat this pandemic, protect one another, and get the country back up and running again. So I hope you’ll get the vaccine as soon as it’s available to you. It could save your life.

[National Women's Political Caucus @NWPCNational]

Today marks 12 years since the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed into law. It was a critical step on the path to equal pay.

There is still so much work to be done to close the wage gap, especially for women of color.

[Sherrill Mulhern @Zonta4women]

The Equal Rights Amendment has now met the standard in Article V that an amendment is “valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states.”

[National Women's Law Center @nwlc]

We dissent.

To this sham process, to this nominee, to this vote.

Thank you to the more than 6,000 of you who followed in Justice Ginsburg's legacy and joined us in dissenting, featured in today's Washington Post. #WeDissent

There are no words. John Lewis changed all our lives. He taught us all the importance of getting into good trouble. The world lost a true hero tonight.
