Publish the ERA extremely time limited campaign

We encourage all UUFBR members and friends to urge President Biden to instruct the US Archivist to certify and publish the ERA in the Constitution! Equality cannot wait. Info on the issue here. Take action here.
Tell Biden to direct the archivist to publish the ERA now as part of the Constitution. Call the White House and request the ERA be published: 202-456-1111. The line is staffed: 11am to 4pm, Tuesday-Thursday.
Script: “Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling to urge President Biden to make the publication of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution a priority for his legacy before leaving the White House.”
You can also text, leave multiple messages, and submit a comment on the White House website, whitehouse.gov/contact/share/ through mid-January.
