New ERA push seeks swift Senate vote in Illinois
ERA Illinois, a coalition of more than 50 groups led by Doris Conant, pressures the Illinois Senate to vote on the Equal Rights Amendment before June 30. The drive, backed by figures like Gertrude Miller and Sister Ann Ida Gannon, aims to show broad support and potentially spend up to 200000 for campaigning. The amendment requires ratification by 38 states. 34 have ratified, with two rescissions. If not passed, House approval would reset next year.
