Take Action for the NY Equal Rights Amendment

New Yorkers deserve the freedom to control our own bodies, lives, and futures. But across the country, politicians are restricting people’s rights and freedoms, including the right to abortion. Here in New York, it’s critical that we, the voters, guarantee our own rights and freedoms in our state constitution so that they are permanently protected, and not left up to the whims of politicians. Because no New Yorker should ever be discriminated against by the government, no matter who we are, what we look like, who we love, whether we have a disability, or whether we choose to have an abortion.

New Yorkers can vote for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in November 2024 and, if approved, it will be added to the NY State Constitution.

Help Planned Parenthood spread the word about the ERA, and mobilize supporters and volunteers to be a part of the grassroots organizing movement.

Sign up to volunteer at upcoming events and actions!
