On this episode of en(gender)ed, our guest is Rachel Landis, a National Policy Director at Generation Ratify, the young people’s feminist movement. The organization is a youth-led movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and advance gender equality in the United States of America. We speak with Rachel today about her work, the Equal Rights Amendment, and how we can and must build a coalition of young people across the country to lead an intersectional feminist revolution.
During our conversation, Rachel and I referenced the following resources:
- How the ERA benefits not just women but all people
- The documentary on the ERA called Equal Means Equal
- How the healthcare industry is sexist and needs the ERA to enforce policy and practice that treats women fairly
- The sexist and racist history of gynecology and obstetrics
- Our letter to the Attorney General about the ERA
- The connection between sexism, misogyny, masculinity and other fights against oppression--ecofeminism, anti-racism, gender equality
- How gender oppression, sexual assault/rape impact women's educational outcomes
