ERA Centennial Convention Planned for July 21-22
2023-07-21 10:00 - 2023-07-22 17:00
On July 21-22 in Seneca Falls, two women’s rights organizations will host an inter-generational convention to examine the status and action items remaining for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Lead activist groups Generation Ratify and Equal Rights Action will kick off a nationwide effort to gain passage of the ERA by joining forces and building a network of advocates. Their goal is to inspire participation by students, cultivating the next generation of equality activists. For the kick-off Convention in Seneca Falls, they hope to have at least one student from each state participate.
The convention will consist of workshops and dialogue to formulate a strategy to gain passage of the ERA. Aimed at college-level students, the event is open to the public who must register to participate. Check EventBrite for pricing, which differs according to the age of the registrant.

At a time when many seek answers, is it possible that ancient traditions hold the key to our survival?
Join us October 7, 8, 9 for a conference that focuses on an exchange of significant ideas in the tradition of Stanton and Anthony. Learn how to apply Haudenosaunee wisdom and become an ally for Rematriation.
