@Alyssa_Milano 1/"Sadly today four members of the house subcommittee ignored a hearing packed full of ERA supporters and the 81 percent of Virginians who support ratifying the ERA."

@Alyssa_Milano 2/"They voted down all four bills that would make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the ERA and enshrine gender equality in the Constitution forever,"

@Alyssa_Milano 3/"but the fight to ratify the ERA in Virginia is not over and we need you. There are three things you can do right now to bring the bills back to life and onto the house floor for a full vote. Will you help me?"

@Alyssa_Milano 4/"Call these lawmakers on the house privileges and elections committee; they have a record of voting down ERA bills, and urge them--please urge them--to bring the bills back for a vote."

@Alyssa_Milano 5/"You can find all their contact numbers by going to varatifyera.org. Here are their names: Mark Cole, Margaret Ranson, Riley Ingram, Chris Jones, Steven Landis, Israel O'Quinn, Nick Rush, Highland Fowler Jr.,"

@Alyssa_Milano 6/"Leslie Adams, James Leftwich Jr., Christopher Head, John McGuire III."

@Alyssa_Milano 7/"The other thing you can do is attend the PNE committee hearing on Friday, January 25 at 9:30 AM to voice support for the ERA and to push for a vote."

@Alyssa_Milano 8/"Three: please follow @VARatifyERA and @ACLUVA on Twitter. They are leading the charge in Virginia and they'll have other actions you can take."

@Alyssa_Milano @VAratifyERA @ACLUVA 9/"We expect the vote to be very, very close and we need your help to get these bills out of the committee and on to the house floor for a vote."

@Alyssa_Milano @VAratifyERA @ACLUVA 10/"Please, please take five minutes to ensure that we don't have to wait another generation for true equality. Thank you so much. Bye." ~Alyssa Milano
