Illinois just became the 37th to back ERA
Remember that? How many weren’t even born when all that hoofraw happened? I had no idea my home state, Nevada, had approved in in 2017.
Some minor problems though, 5 states have rescinded their original ratifications.
With calls to revive the amendment growing stronger amid the #MeToo movement, Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney plans to hold a congressional hearing on the ERA next week. It will be the first since 1984.
I wonder if that means they will have to start all over.
