We are SO CLOSE now to getting the ERA ratified! The Virgi=
nia general assembly starts their session on January 9th=
and the Virginia Equal Means Equal team needs ou=
r help right now!
They would love to have some photos and videos of Americans living abroa=
d who support ERA to use to win over some votes. So if you coul=
d take a photo holding a sign and/or make a 30-45 second video, that would =
be appreciated. Check out the simple guidelines below
If possible, they would like by the end of the week so they can pu=
t something together for a big event in Richmond on Jan 8. So i=
f you could send something before then, that would be great. Ho=
wever, if you miss this first deadline, we have also been asked by both Ari=
zona and North Carolina for the same thing and they do not need as soon.&nb=
sp; Just send as soon as you can!
So =E2=80=93 show your support of women and equal right=
s by creating a photo and/or video. Send the photo and video li=
nks to era@democ=
ratsabroad.org
THANK YOU for your help!
ERA Video Guidelines
Video Guidelines:
- Consider wearing something or standing/seating by something that shows =
you are living abroad =E2=80=93 for example a foreign newspaper, translatio=
n dictionary, map, typical item from country, or outside at a recognizable =
place in your country. However, don=E2=80=99t worry about it =E2=80=
=93 just a blank wall is fine.
- Do NOT wear or say anything partisan. Almost all Dems support ERA=
so trying to win the Rep vote.
- Please show some passion but avoid/limit profanity.
- Start with =E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m an American living in {country =
name}=E2=80=9D. You can also use city name if it is on=
e all Americans would recognize, like London, Paris, Tokyo.
- If you live in a country that has equal rights for women in the constit=
ution, especially if in some non-European country, mention that.
- If you are from one of the 13 states (AR, AL, AZ, GA, NC, SC, VA, FL, M=
S, MO, OK, UT, LA) that have not ratified the ERA, you may want to mention =
that. Note that Virginia, North Carolina, and Arizona are the top 3 t=
argets right now.
- For Virginia, you may want to call out Speaker Cox since he is the curr=
ent =E2=80=98gatekeeper=E2=80=99 that could cause it to stall and never get=
to the Virginia House floor.
- Ask for ERA support.
- Keep video to less than 60 seconds, ideally 45 seconds.
- If you post the video on Facebook or Instagram, please add hashtags #DA=
forERA , #EqualMeansEqual and #VAratifyERA
- Send a link to the video to era@democratsabroad.org
Text ideas:
- I=E2=80=99m an American living in {country}. I have more ri=
ghts as a woman here than I do back home. Please support the ra=
tification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Women around the worl=
d care about what happens in the United States. Please vote for the E=
RA.
- I=E2=80=99m an American living in {country}. 85% of the cou=
ntries in the world have equal rights for women in their constitution. =
; (country} is one of them. I want to see my home country=
one as well. Please vote for the equal rights amendment.
- I=E2=80=99m an American living in {country}. In 2018, I was=
happy when I learned Illinois became the 37th state to ratify t=
he ERA. My hope for 2019 is that Virginia becomes number 38.&nb=
sp; Please support the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.
- I=E2=80=99m an American living in {country}. As a man, I ca=
re about women=E2=80=99s rights. I hope you do as well. Please =
pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
- I=E2=80=99m an American living in {country}. When I recentl=
y learned that the US still does not have equal rights for women in our Con=
stitution, I was shocked. How can that be? Surely one of =
the 13 states that have not ratified it will all do so this year. It =
is 2019! It=E2=80=99s past time. Please vote for the Equa=
l Rights Amendment.
