TELL JOE BIDEN: CERTIFY THE ERA!

We’re launching a full pressure campaign to get President Biden on board with adopting the ERA, so we want as many people to sign as possible. Please add your name and share this page with family and friends.

Women need guaranteed protections under the law before Donald Trump assumes control of the White House. President Biden is currently sitting on an amendment that would do just that — the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

The ERA has already passed in Congress with well more than the necessary two-thirds vote, and it has been ratified by 38 of our 50 states as required under Article V of the Constitution. By all measures, it’s reached the threshold to become our 28th Amendment. There’s only one step left: President Biden simply needs to instruct the U.S. Archivist to certify and publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment. That’s it.

 

Take the pledge and let the Biden administration know that if he does not take action by December 10th, women across the nation are going on strike.

 

Because if President Biden won’t act, we will. 

Just imagine what will happen when women and workers and allies across America go on strike for equal rights, even for just 24 hours. The fight for women’s rights has taken us centuries — but we can do this right now, as long as we’re all in it together.

who have lost their houses through sheriff’s sales can be entitled to get money back once the house has been sold. If your house was sold as a result of a tax debt or mortgage foreclosure, and the house sold for more than you owed, you are entitled to receive the excess amount.

For years, the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office has kept these surpluses—stealing money that belongs to Philadelphia residents and making the harm caused by a sheriff’s sale even worse. And where did that money go? Directly into the pockets of the Sheriff and her office.

For everyday Philadelphians living and dying in poverty, the excess proceeds from a sheriff’s sale would change their lives. They’ve already lost their homes—how people build generational wealth—and now they’re being robbed by the very people who are supposed to be protecting them.

It’s Robin Hood in reversebut the Sheriff is still the villain.

As City Controller, Alexandra Hunt is committed to returning this stolen money to the people who are owed it.

This page is a demonstration—for illustrative purposes only—of the type of search feature that Alexandra would implement as City Controller. Her goal is for everyday Philadelphians who’ve lost their houses through sheriff’s sales to have an easy and accessible way to learn whether they are owed money—whether the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office has stolen from them too.
