Rally and civil disobedience for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)

Lauren Perl (left) and Elizabeth Croydon (right) take a selfie while blocking a street in a civil disobedience action for formal inclusion of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the U.S. Constitution. The group shut down a major intersection in downtown DC, snarling traffic for hours. 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)
