Joe Biden could enshrine the equal rights amendment into the constitution right now and has not done so for four years, allowing the oppression of many peoples in the very near future (hexbear.net)

Title

Oh yeah it hasn't been added to the constitution yet despite it being a thing proposed in the 1970's. There's a chance our next president here is going to undo one of the meager concessions obtained by the civil rights movement and spit on it's legacy

Edit: Pls join protests and stuff, there was a march last week to try and pressure him into getting it included in the constitution but it's been basically erased from media

I don't think this is true? The ERA hasn't been passed because the required number of states failed to ratify it before the time limit ran out.

The time limit was put in serious legal question, it's being used as an excuse but it's not even remotely an actual roadblock

Edit: not to mention the whole "everything the president does is legal" thing lmao

The “everything the president does is legal” thing really does change a lot
