19 NC ORGANIZATIONS ENDORSE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

Nineteen member organizations of North Carolina Women United have endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment. In a recent survey, we asked NCWU members:
 
• Does your organization support the ERA?
• Does your organization support the congressional resolution (HJR 47) to eliminate the deadline and make ERA part of the Constitution when three more states ratify it?
 
None of the 36 member groups expressed opposition. The following 19 organizations said YES to both questions:
 
• AAUW of NC
• Democracy NC
• ERA NC Citizens Task Force
• League of Women Voters of Asheville-Buncombe County
• League of Women Voters of NC
• NARAL Pro-Choice NC
• National Association of Social Workers – NC Chapter
• NC Business and Professional Women Foundation
• NC Justice Center
• NC Moms Rising
• NC National Organization for Women
• Onslow County Council for Women
• Planned Parenthood Health Systems
• Planned Parenthood of Central NC
• Triangle Older Women’s League
• Women’s Forum of NC
• Women’s Graceful Healing Ministry
• Women’s Resource Center in Alamance County
• WomenNC – NC Committee for CSW/CEDAW
 
NCWU is planning a Women’s Advocacy Day at the General Assembly in 2013—a good opportunity to talk to legislators.
