The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) passed Congress in 1972 but fell three states short of the required 38 state legislature ratifications. On 22 March 2017, Nevada ratified the ERA, reinvigorating activists who are seeking to secure ratification by two additional legislatures (NPR, The Daily Express, Chicago Sun Times). States which have not ratified the ERA include AL, AZ, AR, FL, GA, IL, LA, MS, MO, NC, OK, SC, UT, and VA.
