Paulsdale's inaugural ERA Day was a great success, thanks to the support of our generous sponsors and the participation of friends like you! On June 30th, we reclaimed the day that, in 1982, the ERA failed to ratify. Over 150 people attended ERA Day. The event raised just over $3,000 to support our continued ERA advocacy and educational efforts led by API's Advocacy Committee, who hosted the event.

The highlight of the event was the enlightening panel discussion on the ERA led by leaders in the fight for ratification. Moderated by long-time activist Roberta Francis, the panel included Linda Wharton, J.D., of Stockton University, Bettina Hager of the ERA Coalition, and Laura Dunn, Esq., of SurvJustice. The panel discussion was recorded via Facebook Live, and can be watched by clicking here!

The success of ERA Day demonstrates that support for the ERA remains strong and continues to grow. API extends a big "Thank You!" to the event attendees, panel participants, vendors, organization and event sponsors.
