Why Aren't Women in the US Constitution?
Shawna Presley Vercher, The Political Fixer, discusses the real reason why women are not in the Constitution, why earlier attempts to add them have failed, and where we are with the latest efforts to make the 28th amendment - the Equal Rights Amendment - a reality.

In this episode Shawna discusses the efforts to add women to the U.S. Constitution through the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The Political Fixer provides historical context on the ERA, including its initial introduction in the 1920s and the failed attempt to ratify it in the 1970s. She also examines the current political landscape and the challenges in getting the ERA passed, including the Supreme Court's potential role.
Shawna then outlines a plan to restart the ratification process and build a broad coalition to get the 38 states needed to add the ERA to the Constitution. The Political Fixer encourages listeners to get involved in the effort through organizing, strengthening infrastructure, and spreading awareness about the importance of enshrining equal rights for women in the Constitution. She specifically discusses the organization Equal Rights Now.
