So very happy to say that the special performance for the ERA project went wonderfully today. Thank you, Maureen and everyone who made this possible!

I wrote the lyrics to this piece about my grandmother (Cecil Norton Broy - pictured below), Alice Paul, the National Women's Party and the Equal Rights Amendment with the dream of performing it where all the things took place - at the Belmont Paul House in Washington DC.
After having to debut it virtually in
2020 and singing it for audiences live in Oregon, Maryland and Texas, I'm finally getting to sing it there on March 16, 2025!!! It's FREE! And the ERA is a super duper timely right NOW! Please come see me in a few weeks. I'm tagging those of you that I hope will come. :)

@katekelly.bsky.social's book "Ordinary Equality" also writes of Mary Church Terrell who fought for racial equality and women's suffrage throughout her life, understanding the intersectionality of race and gender discrimination. www.womenshistory.org/education-re... nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...

Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954) said, "A white woman has only one handicap to overcome -that of sex. I have two - both sex and race. I belong to the only group in the country which has two such huge obstacles to surmount." Like her parents, Mary believed in quality education for Black children. In 1887 after receiving her bachelors and masters deoree before the age of twenty-five Mary moved to Washington.

'This morning President Joe Biden affirmed what we've known since 2020: The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th amendment in the US

Let us celebrate this monumental achievement accomplished by generations and generations of feminists who believed in the pursuit of justice and liberty, let us toast to those who dedicated their lives to equality but did not see its final passage, and let us remember the fierce words of National Woman's Party member Crystal Eastman following the passage of the 19th amendment; "now we can begin!"'

It is not necessary for the ... Archivist to publish the ERA ... [O]ur Constitution now demands that "equality of rights under the law cannot be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex." It's long past time! #ERAPublished #ERA28 Thank you @tribelaw.bsky.social

It is not necessary for the National Archivist to publish the ERA in order for it to be adopted according to the provisions of the Constitution. The President avoided triggering a clash with the Archivist, who recently announced her intention to defy her statutory, and purely ministerial, duty to publish the ERA. The only reason Congress gave the Archivist such a duty nearly a century ago was to ensure that the Nation got word that an amendment was in force, enabling officials at all levels of government to conform their actions to it. In our modern age of broadcast, cable and internet communication, the President's announcement itself performed that function.
Accordingly, our Constitution now demands that
"equality of rights under the law cannot be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex."
It's long past time!
