ERA Community
ERA has been at the forefront of the fight for women and girls since 1974 thanks to the support of generous donors, co-counsel, and partner organizations, as well as the individual efforts of the many dedicated women who have donated their time and attention to our efforts
The ERA community, which includes our founders, new and long-time donors, current and former members of our staff and Board of Directors, and the newest members of our Student Leadership Board, provides a dynamic and supportive environment for our work.
