New York Attorney General Letitia James released a statement following the unanimous decision by the Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department to reinstate the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) on the ballot for November 2024.
"Today’s decision to put the Equal Rights Amendment back on the ballot in November is a huge victory in our efforts to protect our basic rights and freedoms," James stated. "The ERA was advanced to protect access to abortion care, enshrine this basic right in our constitution, and protect people from discrimination. We will continue to do everything in our power to protect these rights and ensure everyone can live safely and freely in the great State of New York."
