The ERA Is a Hair’s-Breadth Away from Constitutional History in Spite of Mrs. America: An Open Letter to Studios, Networks, Streaming Services, and the Creative Community
Protesters at the Women’s March.
We, as representatives of independent media and members of the film and television industries, urge the Hollywood community and the news media to take an active role in raising public awareness regarding the present historic efforts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which guarantees that women in the United States have equal protection under the Constitution. The ERA states, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” It was first introduced in 1923 and it was overwhelmingly approved by both houses of Congress and sent to the states for ratification in 1972. By 1977, 35 of the 38 states needed had ratified it.
A new generation of women became energized with the January 2017 Women’s March. Two months later, Nevada ratified the ERA. Illinois ratified in 2018. When Virginia ratified the ERA on January 27th, 2020, the ERA putatively became the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.
The ERA will provide equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, require gender equity in scientific research, prohibit police departments from giving domestic violence calls lower priority than other crimes, compel colleges to properly investigate sexual assault, and propel a myriad of other substantive advances for American women and families.
It is painfully ironic that the April 15th premiere of the nine-part Hulu miniseries Mrs. America highlights the amendment’s opposition 50 years ago without referencing the present action—the ratification of the final three states—which now enters a final crucial stage.
Mrs. America centers on Phyllis Schlafly (played by Cate Blanchett), the woman who mobilized an ultra conservative movement to end the fight for women’s legal equality in 1982.
Although the promotional materials for the series and the advance press present the series as providing a history of how the conservative movement gained the traction it has today, we worry that this story diminishes the present-day successes of ERA activists around the country. We are dismayed that while highlighting the inequities of the past, the media currently gives short shrift to the gender cultural narrative of inequality that if reversed could change the lives of millions of Americans of all ages.
We fear that the gains that our renewed movement has made could be hurt by Mrs. America, as well as by the poor coverage by the news media of recent historic victories in the battle to pass the ERA. We respect and support artistic and creative freedom, but we hope that with that freedom the media can also take responsibility. Hollywood can and should accurately represent the voices of women and activists around the country today. The renewed ERA movement is alive and in play right now:
- After forty years of inaction, activists on the ground organized and mobilized in the unratified states. As a result, the ERA was ratified in Nevada, Illinois, and Virginia.
- Article V of the U.S. Constitution states that upon ratification of three fourths of the states the amendment is adopted. Therefore, when Virginia ratified the ERA, it became the 38th and final state needed to complete the ratification process and ERA became law.
- The Archivist of the United States refuses to record the ratification of Virginia after receiving an opinion letter from the Department of Justice that he should not do so, theoretically because the deadline had expired.
- The Archivist had already recorded Nevada (2017) and Illinois (2018) after the deadline had expired so the exertion of political influence is now blocking the amendment.
- Civil Rights group Equal Means Equal (EME) and affected women immediately filed a lawsuit in January in Federal District Court in Massachusetts to compel the Archivist to ratify Virginia and declare the ERA the law of the land.
- Attorneys General from Virginia, Nevada, and Illinois filed suit as well, demanding that the Archivist record Virginia as ratified.
- On February, 13 2020, the House passed H.J.Res 79. This bill will remove the ERA deadline altogether if passed by the Senate.
- If these cases go to the Supreme Court—chances are extremely high they will—public awareness and support will be crucial.
- If SCOTUS upholds the ERA, the United States will join 185 nations in providing its citizens with equality regardless of sex under the law.
Much of this national success is due to the work of grassroots organizations like #MeToo and Women Occupy Hollywood, of Hollywood artists speaking out in support of the ERA, and of films such as Equal Means Equal, which was used across the country in theaters, house parties, churches, and community centers to mobilize and organize women on the ground who worked on ratifying the ERA in these last remaining states.
Presently, while 96% of Americans support gender equality, 82% believe it is already a part of the Constitution. The legal battle for passing the ERA needs public awareness and scrutiny. It is urgent that the media inform the American public about this essential battle, a century in the making.
We urge the studios, networks, and streaming services to produce TV series, fiction films, documentaries, and news stories about:
- The recent wins since 2016, including the explosion of movements like The Women’s March and #MeToo that feed into the fight for the ERA and have sparked momentum in the states working to ratify it.
- The collusion of the Department of Justice, the White House, and the attorneys general in southern states to eradicate the ERA.
- A history of the century-long battle of the ERA from the side and perspective of the activists working to ratify it.
- Current ERA-specific activist movements, like ILRatifyERA and VARatify ERA, Generation Ratify, Equal Means Equal, Equality NOW, ERA Coalition and cross-issue groups, like the Teamsters, the SEIU (Teachers Union), SAG/AFTRA, Black Voters Matter, Indivisible, Common Cause, and Women Occupy Hollywood that have dedicated themselves to this struggle for the past four years.
- The reasons why we still need the ERA, explaining what it does, whom it helps, and how it can change our country.
As media activists, members of the Hollywood community, and passionate stakeholders in the ERA, we urge an immediate response and commitment from all studios, networks, and media partners to make the public aware that while Mrs. America’s Phyllis Schlafly may be dead, the Equal Rights Amendment is ratified, reactivated, and ready to be implemented and enforced in the service of all Americans.
We want to continue to believe that Hollywood and the news media can be leaders in social justice and freedom of expression, and our creative community will not rest until equal means equal. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
