The New York State Equal Rights Amendment seeks to expand existing protections against discrimination by prohibiting it based on a broader range of factors.
The ERA's journey to the ballot began in 2021 with the passage of Senate Bill 108A, which was approved in two consecutive legislative sessions.
The panel in Manhattan aims to educate the public on the ERA's significance, background, and what its passage could mean for New Yorkers' rights.
Attorney General Letitia James called the decision to put the Equal Rights Amendment on the ballot a 'huge victory in our efforts to protect our basic rights and freedoms.'
