To President Biden:

American women and girls have been denied explicit protection against sex-based discrimination under the Constitution since its adoption. As you prepare to leave office, you have the opportunity to make history, and be remembered for being the President who finally bridged this gap for 170 million women and girls. We urge you to call the National Archivist now to make the Equal Rights Amendment official.

Biden: Protect women and girls’ rights

Can you believe American women currently have no explicit protection against discrimination under the U.S. constitution?

They’ve mobilized for over a century to bridge this shocking gap, and they’ve finally cleared the constitutional requirements to pass this crucial amendment – only to hit a wall when Trump was last President.

President Biden could fix this with just one phone call to make the amendment official – but he only has a few days left in office, and he’s been dragging his feet. That’s why we need to go all-in now before Trump takes over: sign and share now to make it massive – Avaaz will work with allies so this call follows Biden everywhere he goes.

PS: We’re conscious that we’re launching this campaign as L.A. is burning — but there’s not much time left and the chance to protect women’s rights explicitly under our Constitution is historic. California has already enshrined this protection in its state constitution, and like the rest of the country, a strong majority of its citizens consistently support such equal rights under the law.
