Suggested Agenda:

1. Welcome and introductions
2. Watch the Equal Means Equal documentary
3. Discussion

List of possible discussion questions:

• • What did you learn from the documentary that you didn’t know before?
  • What does equality mean to you?
  • Marian Wright Edelman, a lifelong activist and the president and founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, advises all fellow activists to “be a good ancestor.” How can we convince the skeptics that ratifying the ERA is one important way that we can all be good ancestors?
  • Does anyone feel comfortable sharing why the fight for equality feels personal to them?

4. Activity/Action

• • Record a video message (scripts provided) to send to the state legislature of the states that have not yet ratified the ERA
  • Write postcards (guidelines here) to the governors and/or attorneys general of the states that havenot yet ratified the ERA. More contact information can be found here.
