In episode 20 of the Equality Talks podcast, host Elisa Parker introduces us to Dr. Nancy O'Reilly, founder of Women Connect4Good and ultimate champion for women and the ERA. She has made it her life's mission to support organizations who lift up and advance wonen and girls and activate their passion and purpose. She believes publishing the Equal Rights Amendment in our constitution is one of the most import things we can do right now to create gender equity and she won't stop until the ERA becomes our 28th amendment. She stresses that being clear with our intent and asking for what we want is essential to stepping into our full value and worth along with stepping into our power-to. Public education and awareness is key and relationships are essential to sustainable equitable change.
O'Reilly says, "why not". Why not demand that the President instruct the archivist to publish the ERA. Why not demand a world that is equitable and just for all people. Why not show up for another women. She is here to help you. You just need to ask.
Hosted by nationally acclaimed radio host and Equal Voices/ERA Coalition, Elisa Parker, Equality Talks bridges the intersections of equality, justice, and social activism to unify as a collective and change the status quo.
Equality Talks focuses on the key facets of equality across all communities, including everything from gender, racial, economic and reproductive justice, to labor, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ rights.

Moving from silos to solidarity.
The ERA Coalition was founded in 2014 to bring concerted, organized action to the effort to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA Coalition has a sister organization, the Fund for Women’s Equality, which promotes public education and outreach on the need for constitutional equality. Composed of more than 300 organizations across the country representing millions of people, the Coalition is a movement of movements focused on overall equality in the United States.
While the effort to amend the constitution to include sex equality began nearly a century ago, our renewed efforts are centered on women of color (African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Latina, and Native American), gender-nonconforming and transgender women and girls, and nonbinary people – those who are most impacted by systemic inequities.
