Today would be the right day. An executive order would be important and protective in so many ways, but it would also be a poignant way to honor President Carter as President Biden, and the rest of us, say goodbye.

It is way past time!

YES, YES, YES!!!!! I’ve been posting this for months! What’s the hold up?

jeffvazsr.bsky.social•45 days ago

How do we get Joe’s attention to focus on this important issue over the next waining 14 days??!!!

marrei.bsky.social•45 days ago

Shortly after the radication of the 19th Amendment, Alice Paul began working on the first variation of the ERA. It was completed in 1923. It was re-written in 1943 to be more inclusive. 100+ years is enough! Pass the damn Amendment!

YES, WE DO!

catjando.bsky.social•45 days ago

He should do it! My daughter didn't even know it hadn't been ratified. Women in this country don't count!

Thank you, Jill!! It’s been so frustrating that so few people with influence and platforms are talking about the need for Joe Biden to #PublishTheERA.

rebequewest.bsky.social•46 days ago

How do we convince him to do it? Seriously. What exactly? I’ve appealed to him and Harris.

jillwine-banks.bsky.social•46 days ago

Without ERA, we could lose protections of Title 7 (employment) and 9 (education and sports) and much more. If that doesn't happen, here's what we must do:
1. urge your state to pass its own ERA if it hasn't
2. vote for members of Congress who will ...

jillwine-banks.bsky.social•46 days ago

vote for a Joint Resolution to extend the time limit or to declare the ERA as fully ratified and the law of the land. Although many scholars say the time limit is not a valid restriction because it was in the preamble, not the text, courts and Republicans have acted as if it was. ...

jillwine-banks.bsky.social•46 days ago

Even if not legally required, a Joint Resolution will get ERA published as the law of the land so let's vote in a Congress that will do it in '26.

Today's #JillsPin is Suffragist jail house door. Plus one I thought about wearing except it's still in Milwaukee with my pin collection display.

dianne-l.bsky.social•45 days ago

Amen to this! Can’t understand why the Dems haven’t pushed Biden to get it published!

parkin1.bsky.social•46 days ago

It is so hard to believe the democrats are willing to throw away the ERA without even an attempt. Litigate it if necessary. Force the opposition into public.

jillwine-banks.bsky.social•46 days ago

Also talked about Cannon's lack of jurisdiction to rule as she did that Smith Report could not be released and about whether SCOTUS can act fast enough to stop Trump being sentenced by a brave -- and legally correct -- Judge Merchan.

katt84.bsky.social•46 days ago

Jack Smith wasn’t required to notify Cannon was he? Why would he do that?

brown8.bsky.social•46 days ago

He let Trump's lawyers see the report. They filed with cannon and 11th circuit

heathervickery.bsky.social•46 days ago

Why hasn’t he done it?! Why?! It doesn’t make any sense.

It seems like we’re being completely left to the wolves.

julesbraun.bsky.social•46 days ago

I’ve been waiting and waiting for this, since I was a bossy kid.

tmr818.bsky.social•46 days ago

I know he’s probably never seen my messages, but I have emailed Biden several times, twice about signing the ERA. If he doesn’t, then he never really cared about women’s rights. I appreciate what he accomplished, but the hubris is beyond the beyond. He sunk us.

solarrich.bsky.social•46 days ago

I thought you and the other Sisters in Law said that wasn’t an option last week.

I would love to see it enacted, just got the impression from you folks that the time stipulated in the original bill was a showstopper.
