LWV-Downeast hosts a monthly radio program on democracy in cooperation with WERU FM. This month, we will talk about where the Equal Rights Amendment stands now, the obstacles to its final ratification, and the validity of the time limit and the rescissions. We might also cover the path taken to ratification for some other expansive amendments, particularly including the Reconstruction Amendments. We will take listeners' questions by email, news@weru.org, during the second half of the show.
Special Guests: Carol Jenkins, Co-President and CEO, ERA Coalition/Fund for Women’s Equality, and Patricia E. Ryan, founding executive director of the Maine Human Rights Commission.
