See below for some tweets, photos, and video (when it comes available) of the historic vote today in the Virginia House of Delegates to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment – making it 38 states, which is what’s required, which have ratified the amendment. Of course, the Trump administration and Republicans will fight this in the courts, but still…it’s an important, historic vote nonetheless. Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to make this day a reality!

Today, the House of Delegates WILL pass the Equal Rights Amendment. In this nation and this Commonwealth, women WILL have equal protection under the law. It has taken far too long, but finally women will be represented in the Constitution. History. pic.twitter.com/1RzD6ATjGq

Virginia House now in session. Plans vote in favor of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment today. Senate to vote too. Resolutions then have to cross to other side for final vote. Legal questions remain about whether this would make ERA part of constitution https://t.co/WuDlemyYEq
