ERAmera to push for ratification in nationwide campaign
Liz Carpenter and Elly Peterson head ERAmerica, a bipartisan effort to win ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. They plan a full political campaign with speeches, fund raising, strategy sessions, and extensive lobbying to persuade states and party leaders, aiming for the March 22, 1979 deadline. The effort seeks $1 million in funds and will partner with women's organizations while avoiding alienation of feminist groups. Phyllis Schlafly remains a vocal opponent.
