Did you know that women in this country continue to experience discrimination and disadvantage in nearly every sphere of life? A 2018 survey named the United States among the ten most dangerous countries in the world for women and the World Economic Forum recently ranked the United States 53rd out of 153 nations for gender parity. In this episode we talk about the Equal Rights Amendment and who it is a crucial step toward greater gender justice in the U.S and ending gender discrimination in this country. Human rights lawyer and faith leader, Allyson McKinney, and author and Speaker Meghan Tschanz talk about the history of the ERA, why it has still not been published as the 28th amendment, why it is desperately needed, some of the myths and opposition to it and what you can do to help ratify the ERA to the U.S. Constitution
