Vote, Virginia!
TODAY is the last day to register to vote in Virginia for Nov 5. If just 4 state legislative seats flip, VA will be the 38th state to ratify the ERA. That would pay an old debt: VA didn’t ratify the 19th Amendment until 1952. #StateoftheWeek #ERANow <br /><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
