Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

People ask me what I would advise them to do in preparation for their own funeral. I tend to say they can leave their loved ones to decide the service if they write a #will. And if you are #LGBTQ+ write a will & do it now. If you are #Queer or #trans write your will. If you are feeling you are too #young or not needing to think about it yet *write a will*. Look into the eyes of the people you love, write it for them. If we don’t write a will, #biology will win over #choice. Please #WriteAWill
