Dear Digital Marchers,

The first two days have been a worthwhile challenge: 36 miles behind us and 214 to go! There are 12 FREE events left for you to attend from the New Jersey State Capitol in Trenton to Washington DC including press conferences, music events, community discussions on art and activism, and exploration of the women’s rights movement in history.

There has never been a better time to demand the passage of the ERA. This is an election year and we finally have a woman poised to run for the presidency. Will she take a stand for all women to ensure equal rights under the Constitution? History shows that it is popular opinion that persuades leaders to take action. Together we can win this measure for gender equality. Thank you being at the forefront of this dynamic and powerful movement!

The March for ERA website has detailed calendar along with the Facebook page. We encourage you to share and invite anyone who knows a woman to the march and our events!

Our Indiegogo has been extended until the end of the march, please donate generously it takes money to run a groundswell event such as this.

See you on the road! Keep up with us along the way. We will be live streaming on Facebook Live and Periscope! Stay tuned for more details.
Let’s pass the Equal Rights Amendment together!

Not Your Mother’s Feminism: Sisterhood in the Digital Age

I recently had the pleasure of attending Not Your Mother’s Feminism: Sisterhood in the Digital Age at the Brooklyn Historical Society. The panel was moderated by Angélique Roché, Senior Director of External Affairs at the Ms. Foundation, and featured panelists including Mallory Ortberg (Co-founder of The Toast) Heben Nigatu (Co-host of BuzzFeed’s Another Round), Lori Adelman (Executive Director of Partnerships at Feministing), Prachi Gupta (Senior Writer at Cosmopolitan) and Susana Polo (Founder of The Mary Sue).

These innovative and pioneering women discussed the evolution of 2nd to 3rd wave feminism, internet subculture feminism, intersectionality, race, gender identification and millennial lifestyle. It was fantastic to listen to these woman talk at length about their own relationship with their feminist identities, their extremely diverse lifestyles, upbringings and importantly their camaraderie with their fellow woman.

20 Questions with Natalie White

By KURT MCVEY, JUL. 2016

McVey: Do you feel that “feminism” is currently being commoditized to a degree in the art-world?  

White: No, but I can’t believe what’s going on at some of the top-level galleries with these all women shows. They get called out for having a history of all male artists then they call up all of the female artists they know and put them in a show together. Why? Because we aren’t good enough to show with men? So we must have our own group show? Having an entire history of discriminating against women in your gallery then having a group show of all women is like saying, “I’m not a racist. I know a black person.” Women should be on their roster, not thrown into a group show together so the gallery owner can claim forever that he doesn’t discriminate against women.

National ERA March ’78

#March For ERA ’16

Section 1. Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.

  • May 1976, the National Organization of Women (NOW) brought 16,000 supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) to march in Washington.
  • 1977, 4,000 people marched down Pennsylvania Avenue.
  • 1978, NOW organized over 100,000 people to march on Washington.

This March for Equality was the largest in feminist history to date. Marchers struggled through 95 degree heat to hear NOW President Smeal and other leaders speak on behalf of the ERA. Women from diverse backgrounds marched in a sea of purple, gold and white banners (reflecting the suffragist colors), to press for an extension of the time limit on ratifying the ERA — which they won.

  • 1982 The ERA was defeated — three states short of ratification.

The ERA has been re-introduced in Congress every year since 1985. NOW did not organize another major march until the

  • 1986 March for Women’s Lives, when over 120,000 women and men demonstrated in Washington, D.C. for abortion rights continued in the years to come with the second …
  • 1992 March for Women’s Lives.

Alice Paul, part of the original suffragettes, was one of the major players in the passing of the ERA. After the Suffrage Amendment passed in 1920, Paul said something that still rings true today. Her words were “It is incredible to me that any woman should consider the fight for full equality won. It has just begun” … truer words…

Do you think that the ratification of the ERA will win the fight for equality, or will there be more work past that? #MarchForERA …2 days from the start of the march I am thinking about these things. On the 12th of the month I will be at the Alice Paul Institute along my route from NYC to D.C. I hope you will join me! 

WE are raising funds as we go along, leaving NYC on Friday morning on a wing and a prayer! Please support me, every 10$ donation will help get us to the next town in the 250 mile journey of which I am walking every step! Thank you to all of the enormously generous supporters to date!! I am grateful beyond compare!

Rebecca Traister is a feminist journalist based in New York who is currently the Writer at Large at New York Magazine and The Cut as well as a contributing editor to Elle magazine.

Traister is also the author of a recent book called All The Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and The Rise of an Independent Nation.

In the book, she chronicles the accomplishments of women who either remained unmarried throughout their lives or married much later in life. I find Traister to be a particularly interesting because she is one of the most outspoken feminist voices out there today along with Gloria Steinem and many other contemporary public figures. In an interview with CBS This Morning two months ago, she talks about the rising power of single women:

Natalie White ERA March: It’s about using the enemy’s language against them.

As we all know, There are many different ways to get messages across to people.

In my show I have made many different images, some re-appropriating images and flags from the revolutionary war to become feminist symbols.

A bronze sculpture to show a strong image like a monument.

Giant Polaroids of the female physique making up the American flag.

A library of over a hundred books on feminism people are welcome to come and read.

And yes, an erotic video of me by myself- because I want to get he information to people in any way they will listen to it or read it.

And, yes, Usually pornography is about objectifying women. But using it to empower women to get the message across I think sends a strong message that I own my own body and I can do whatever I want with it.
