Civic Circle: Equal Rights Amendment

Most Americans believe men and women have equal rights under law. Spoiler: they don't! Gender equality is not guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. Want to know why it's still legal to discriminate based on sex? Join C'ville NOW and the League of Women Voters for a Civic Circle on the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA has met all requirements to be in the Constitution. Yet in 2026 it remains unpublished, unrecognized, and unenforceable - not because of law, but because of politics. This mini-seminar and lively discussion will get you up-to-date on what's happening with the ERA and what comes next in the fight for gender equality in the U.S. Wednesday, September 30, 6:00 - 7:30 PM, in the Education Building at the Ivy Creek Natural Area, Charlottesville. Free and includes refreshments, but must register. RSVP: https://www.cvillenow.org/event-registration
