Episode 67: Sex, Gender Identity, and the Constitution

<p>On this episode, we discuss sex, gender identity, and the Constitution. That's because we are talking about the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the argument that it is already the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Lindsay Langholz is joined by Kate Kelly, author of "Ordinary Equality," to discuss the ERA’s long journey, the women and queer activists who kept the project going for so long, and why their work and their fight are still relevant today.</p> <p><strong>Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today:</strong> <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ACSLaw.org</a></p> <p><strong>Today's</strong> <strong>Host:</strong> Lindsay Langholz, <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/person/lindsay-langholz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ACS Director of Policy and Program</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Kate Kelly, <a href= "https://www.katekellyesq.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Author of <em>Ordinary Equality</em></a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Equality-Fearless-Constitution-Amendment/dp/1423658728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ordinary Equality, by Kate Kelly</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://oversight.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/ERA%2050th%20Anniversary%20%28Russ%20Feingold%20Letter%29.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russ Feingold's Letter to Congresswoman Maloney Regarding the ERA</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://gender-sexuality.law.columbia.edu/content/era-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia ERA Project</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/state-level-equal-rights-amendments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"State-Level Equal Rights Amendments," by the Brennan Center</a></p> <p><strong>Visit the Podcast Website:</strong> <a href= "https://www.acslaw.org/media/podcast/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Broken Law Podcast</a></p> <p><strong>Email the Show:</strong> <a href= "mailto:Podcast@ACSLa
