Rally and civil disobedience for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)
People engage in a civil disobedience action for formal inclusion of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the U.S. Constitution. They blocked 9th St NW and Constitution Avenue, 2 major arteries in downtown DC. The amendment gives women the same rights as men under U.S. law, with implications for almost every aspect of life, including equal pay and bodily autonomy. All requirements for the amendment's inclusion in the Constitution have been met. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
