We did it! We pushed the needle and made a real impact. Our Senate lobbying produced 5 new co-sponsors for SJ Res 5 to REMOVE the DEADLINE - see letter below from Andrea Miller where she extended a personal thank you for organizing these events.
I forward that thank you out to each of you that helped us to get this done.

We Marched with millions outside on Saturday 1-21 to show unity.
NOTE: THE GOVERNMENT LOCKED RUSSELL SENATE FRONT DOORS DURING OUR MEETUP TIME. WE'RE SORRY IF YOU COULDN'T FIND YOUR WAY IN. LESSON LEARNED - NEXT TIME, WE'LL STATION LIVE RECEIVERS AT THE DOORS.
We Walked inside the Senate halls on Monday 1-23 to lobby for gender equality.

"I'm marching in DC on Saturday and I extended my stay to meet with Jackie Speier on Monday to
continue the fight to ratify the ERA
(yes, that's right, it was never ratified - we need 3 more states)
I would love if you can support/join me

Unsure of what this means? Google "nations and women's rights" and see how inequality affects the world and your home.
If only half of 0.1% of people marching on Saturday stay until Monday to walk the halls of congress, we’ll swarm the halls and they''ll hear loud and clear, "We’re sick of this BS and we’re not going to take it anymore. Women need constitutional equality!"

I promise you this, once the bedrock is laid down, all this legal wrangling for our economic rights will be on a level playing field.
We need to unify. United we stand, divided we fall. Let’s unite on equality, for once and for all.
