Constitutional Equality
NOW is a proud supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment and prioritizes Constitutional equality in our work.

The progress we are making towards women’s equality can be lost at any time because those advances depend on legislation that can be (and has been) weakened or repealed by Congress.
