Today the Equal Rights Amendment was passed in Virginia. Regardless of what happens next, this is a big deal. Virginia showed up and said, ‘Gender discrimination isn’t just wrong. It’s illegal.’

This isn’t just a win for Virginia, it’s a win for all the women and men who fought for this moment.

This is for those no longer with us who spent their lives fighting for equality. Most importantly, this is for our future, as girls throughout this country will see that their nation recognizes their value and will permanently codify their equality.

Women now get to know what it's like to have equal protections through the Constitution. This was not just a vote, this was a triumph for justice and equality.

You made this happen. You showed up to the polls. You voted for Equality on Election Day in 2019. This happened because you spoke out, wrote letters, marched, and even ran for office. The future just got a little brighter. Thank you for all you've done. We did it!#ElectionsMatter
