Join other supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment at Portland Stage for and enjoy the play, “What the Constitution Means to Me,” followed by a discussion and reception. Advanced tickets in the ERA seat block are available here.

The play, “What the Constitution Means to Me,” is informative, interactive and inspiring with important connections to the many Constitutional questions before the Supreme Court including abortion, sexual violence, immigration and more.

Equal Rights Maine, Maine Women’s Lobby, the national ERA Coalition and Ms. magazine are the evening’s hosts. ERA leaders will provide an update on a pathway to putting the ERA into the Constitution through U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Joint Resolutions recognizing the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution in this important Congressional session fifty years after its introduction and passage.
