Our Approach
Elected officials need to hear support for ERA ratification directly from their constituents. Individual legislators should be contacted as soon as possible to determine their support.
Our Message
The ERA seeks a legal system in which every person will be judged on the basis of individual merit, enabling all citizens to make full use of their political and economic capabilities. At this time, more than half of those people — who happen to be women — do not have equal rights under law within the U.S. Constitution. The ERA would correct that, so that all citizens of South Carolina could live their lives to their full potential.

Methods of Contact
- Start with a phone call to find out where your legislator stands. Sometimes that's all it takes.
- You can also set up a meeting to speak with your legislator. For steps to walk you thru the process, click here.
- Hand-written letters and postcards (links below) are also good (they create a physical presence and touch).
- Emails are rarely read, but can be effective en masse. A single email can be sent to an individual legislator, to an entire committee's members, as well as to ALL members of either the House or Senate.
- Letters to the Editor are wonderful and can reach a diverse audience (click here for writing tips).
