THE ERA UNIVERSITY PROGRAM
educates, activates and engages the students in a variety of ways, delivering both rigorous, in-depth knowledge on the subject of the
EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
& women’s rights issues
as well as quantifiable
real-world results that have direct impact on the issue itself.

The mission of this pilot program at Santa Monica College is to develop a model that can be adopted and replicated by educators and students nationwide.

Social movements and social progress have historically been linked to the work of young people. The moral argument for social justice and equal rights for women has broad support and is founded in the values we associate with being American. It is the ultimate goal of the program to help American women finally achieve the “equal rights under the law” they deserve.

The ERA Education Project posits that applying the exponential power and speed of new and social media with the energy and innovative vitality of young American students is a winning strategy to raise awareness and help women achieve full human and civil rights.
