ERA – Did you know women are not equal with men?
Wouldn’t it be one of the best feelings in your lifetime to know that you helped to get the United States 28th Equal Rights Amendment to become law! Not only will this personal feeling of accomplishment be gratifying but it will also “build a better world for women and girls” of the future. What a legacy!!
So how can you help achieve this goal? Get your sister Zontian members, friends, family members, and coworkers to sign the Sign4ERA.org petition! Post a link on your social media accounts and ask individuals to “share it”. The goal is to get at least 1 million signatures by November.
You can share the QR code (above) and the link www.sign4era.org to the petition.
This petition will bring attention to the future Congress who must immediately recognize the Equal Rights Amendment Joint Resolution which you can read the description of on the petition page.
The Zonta Club of Concord has been holding permitted events in the city to obtain signatures from passersby and will continue to do until at least the end of the summer. We have also posted a large sign in a vacant storefront window that includes the QR code and link to the petition for anyone to either take a picture of or actually take the time to sign the online petition while standing there.
