What is the New York Equal RIghts Amendment?
The New York Equal Rights Amendment (NY ERA/Prop 1) would explicitly protect against discrimination based on gender. These protections would safeguard pregnancy outcomes including abortion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and more. This novel amendment would ensure that all New Yorkers are treated equally under the law and give them tools to fight against discrimination. If passed, Prop 1 could set the critical blueprint for future amendments in other states.
