The Fight for Gender Justice, PART II: The Equal Rights Amendment in the 21st Century
Join the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network, the Ms. Foundation for Women, the ERA Project of Columbia Law School's Center for Gender & Sexuality Law, and NYU Law Women and OUTLaw for The Equal Rights Amendment in the 21st Century, the second event in The Fight for Gender Justice, a three-part speaker series presented by the BWLN and the Ms. Foundation. The speaker series, which began in Fall 2021 and continues through Spring 2022, convenes thought leaders from across advocacy organizations and the legal field to highlight the legal and advocacy battles at the forefront of the movement for gender justice. This panel will examine the history and current status of the Equal Rights Amendment while discussing how passing the ERA could help advance key gender justice issues including LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive rights with a focused consideration of trans rights. The panel event will convene top advocates and scholars of the ERA to explore how law students, attorneys, individual advocates, and others can help pass this long-pending amendment with wide-ranging implications for inclusive gender justice.
