Vermont ERA bid echoes national fight for equal rights
Vermont voters will decide on November 4 whether to add an equal rights amendment to the state constitution. Supporters argue it enshrines gender equality. opponents tie it to abortion and gay rights. Leaders say a Vermont victory could revive a federal ERA, while foes warn it could be the last gasp. The measure reads equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the state on account of sex. The campaign centers on money, outside influence, and public support, with broad cross‑party backing in Vermont.
