Sen. Whitehouse Urges Swift Passage of the Equal Rights Amendment Resolution

April 26 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) took to the Senate floor to call for the passage of Senate Joint Resolution 4 affirming the validity of the Equal Rights Amendment, which would enshrine protections against sex-based discrimination in our Constitution.

The ERA would bolster efforts to ensure equality in the fields of workforce and pay, pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment and violence, reproductive autonomy, and protections for LGBTQ individuals.

We must elect more Congress members like Sheldon Whitehouse. He is working for the good of all Americans, which every congress person should be doing.

Although I'm not opposed to getting out of jury duty next month, thank you so much Sen. Whitehouse for all the hard work you've been doing. I don't think it is gone unnoticed.

Senator Whitehouse, we are grateful to you for being vigilant in governing for the American people and equal rights.

This is so important. It should have been ratified in the 1970s. Better late than never. We can't go on as a Democracy without it.

Sir....please, please, please run for the presidency in 2024. We need someone like you running our country. We have been abused and tattered from the Trump Administration and the rampant abuse from the republican party. Our country needs to heal. We need a strong leader who knows and follows the law and can protect us from republicans who like to twist issues to fit their agenda. Please for the White House! WE NEED YOU!
