“The people of America believe in the #ERA and it is time that we codify it. Women and states have done their jobs — it’s time for Congress to do its job. 100 years is too long — we need the #ERANow!” – Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley speaking at today’s rally for the #EqualRightsAmendment. #ERA100


“Every Member of Congress MUST sign the ERA discharge petition.” – Virginia Kase Solomon of League of Women Voters of the US speaking at today’s #ERA100 rally. Sign @eracoalition's petition: bit.ly/3RFqBDD #ERANow #ERACoalition


.Ellie Smeal, President of Feminist Majority: “It’s time to publish the #ERA. It’s been ratified by the states — the time is now!” bit.ly/3RFqBDD #ERA100 #ERANow #ERACoalition @eracoalition


Our CEO Margaret Mitchell speaking at the #ERA100 rally: "[YWCA was] here 100 years ago. We are here today, but not one day more... This is not only important for American women all over this country — it’s important for every single woman on this planet. The time is now." #ERANow

Waiting a century for over half of the U.S. population to attain constitutional equality is long enough. Today, we joined ERA Coalition at the The White House to urge our elected officials to publish the #ERA in the US Constitution. Sign the petition: bit.ly/3RFqBDD #ERA100



Yesterday I was proud to stand with ERA Coalition at the #ERA100 press conference at the US Capitol. Not one more year can go by without ensuring the rights of women and girls under the Constitution. Women and states have done their job — it's time for Congress to do its job.


I was pleased to join my peers Antonio Villaraigosa @Lulac CEO Juan Proaño Mayor Karen Bass and Latino Leaders Network Chairman Mickey Ibarra for the 2024 Tribute to Mayors in Washington DC yesterday to continue to build relationships and unity for our mission’s success 🧡










Last night, I attended the “For The Love Of Our Children 9th Annual Gala” in NYC hosted by National CARES Mentoring Movement. Their courageous efforts to give hope and uplift our children are inspiring. I had the opportunity to meet with CEO of Ms. Foundation for Women Teresa C. Younger as well.



Thank you Bath & Body Works and YWCA USA board member, Deon Riley, for supporting YWCA’s effort for inclusion today and every day. It is such an exciting day to be a part of and I appreciate our continued relationship! 🧡
