Choose Democracy – We can stop an undemocratic power grab, but only if we together, choose democracy.

SCOTUS is set to decide a case on sex-based discrimination…they will likely REMOVE EQUAL PROTECTION for #women, girls and #LGBTQIA+ people. Sending us back to the 1800s…unless #Biden publishes the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). @POTUS, make the call now!

June 6, 2024. What many don’t realize is that, regardless of the outcome of the 2024 elections or who is in the White House, we likely will have a national abortion ban and women, girls and LGBTQIA+ people will lose 14th Amendment equal protection in 2025.
