NEW YORK STATE'S EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT: PROPOSITION ONE

Right now, New York’s State Constitution does not protect all New Yorkers — for example, pregnant New Yorkers, women, LGBTQIA+ people, those with disabilities, older adults, and people from different countries and cultures. 

We need a constitutional amendment so our rights and freedoms are protected – no matter who is in office. The New York ERA would:

• explicitly prohibit discrimination by the government based on a person’s ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex — including their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression — in addition to pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes.

• add to existing protections against discrimination based on race and religion.

• ensure New York’s Constitution includes the strongest legal protections for all New Yorkers.
