SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES & ORGANIZATIONS WHO SUPPORT YOU!
The ERA Task Force AZ has assembled a list of businesses who support the Equal Rights Amendment. Business should be especially favorable to the ERA because as the Economist estimated in 2018, advancing women's equality could add $12 trillion to the global GDP by 2025. Here in the U.S. it's between $2.1 trillion and $4.3 trillion in the next decade. If every state and city made progress toward gender parity they could add at least 5% to their own economies. Half of the U.S. states can add more than 10%. No wonder U.S. Treasurer Rosie Rios says, "It's not a gender issue, it's about the economy."
As the National Partnership for Women and Families reported, there is a $7,029 wage gap in Arizona. Arizona women who are employed full time lose nearly $6 billion dollars every year due to the wage gap. The gap in Arizona ranges from 81 cents per dollar for Asian women, to 64 cents per dollar for African American women, to 46 cents per dollar for Native American women. It's not only unfair, it's bad for the economy, for business, and for families.
Below is a list of our supporters. We have categorized the Business section to make it easier for your to find what you need. We also provide an alphabetical list of organizations, and a separate list for the Religious/Secular/Spiritual communities.
Thanks to everyone for their support!

A LETTER FROM CLERGY IN SUPPORT OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
March 28, 2019
Let this statement show that we, Christian pastors and religious leaders, support the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). We call on the Arizona Legislature to ratify the ERA immediately.
We endorse the ERA becoming the law of the land as a part of the U.S. Constitution: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”
We reject the fear-based idea that the ERA has anything to do with abortion. All of us want to see abortion rates fall and yet we fully support the ERA – they are different issues.
We reject the fear-based idea that the ERA will erase the differences between men and women. Humans can be distinct and yet be safe from discriminatory laws.
We reject the position that “the deadline is passed” – rather, we say: do what is right, now is the time!
We reject any hesitation to the ERA on Christian religious grounds. Rather we uphold the biblical principle of the equality of all people: Galatians 3:28 says, “There is neither Jew nor Greed, there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
We reject the idea that we do not need the ERA because other laws already protect against sex discrimination. Rather, we hold that current laws are not strong enough and that the Constitution of the United States needs this amendment to guarantee all people equal protection – we need the ERA.
We reject the idea that this is a partisan issue. Rather, we insist that this is a common human issue. We represent a wide variety of Christian denomination, political parties, and voting tendencies. We put aside those (sometimes great) differences to support the ERA.
We call on the women and men of the Arizona House and Senate to break free from fear and partisanship. We call on you to stand. We call on you to do what is right. We call on you to help Arizona ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
Sincerely Signed,
