✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution urges the U.S. Congress and the President to officially recognize the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as part of the U.S. Constitution. The ERA would guarantee equal legal rights for all Americans regardless of sex, providing stronger federal protections against gender discrimination. By passing this resolution, the NYC City Council is sending a message to federal leaders that New Yorkers support making gender equality the law of the land.
