Mentioned in this episode:

Justice Revival #Faith4ERA Campaign

This giving season, I’m asking you to join us at Justice Revival and stand with America’s women and girls. Can you believe we are still not equal citizens in the Constitution? In 2022?! Change is long overdue. The good news is, you and I can make history by backing the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA means women’s rights are fully protected. It’s that simple, and we are so close. We need the ERA to end sexual and domestic violence, the gender pay gap, and so much more. That’s why I’m asking you to give today, to fuel our faith campaign for the ERA. Just go to justicerevival.org/give before Human Rights Day, December 10th. Show that you support women’s rights. Again, that’s justicerevival.org/give. Thanks for your support!
