Empowering People for Constitutional Change with Julie Suk
<p>As part of her seven-part print and podcast series for Women’s eNews, “How Would the ERA Impact Our Daily Lives?” journalist Rachel Leventhal interviews constitutional scholar and Academic Advisor to The ERA Project at Columbia Law School, Professor Julie Suk, about the structural impediments that were built-in to the US Constitution that keep women (along with other marginalized groups) from changing the Constitution in a way that would enable greater equality and more democracy. But even in the face of all these structural roadblocks, women have navigated nimbly, increased their political power, and continue to make significant gains.</p><p>ABOUT THE SERIES: “How Would the ERA Impact Our Daily Lives?”</p><p>A few months ago, journalist Rachel Leventhal had a conversation with three young women of color about gender equality and the Equal Rights Amendment. It was one of those conversations that yielded more questions than answers, namely: Why don’t women already have constitutional equality, and what would it really mean if we did? In this series, through interviews with lawyers, scholars, activists, and the young women themselves, Rachel sets out to uncover answers to the question many of us have: “How Would the ERA Impact Our Daily Lives?” Hoping to keep her young friends empowered and engaged in the face of rollbacks and uncertainty, this print and podcast series is her “love letter” to them.</p><p>The interviews for this series took place January, 2022, at the ERA's two-year ratification anniversary, the date it met all the constitutional requirements to become the law of the land.</p><p>SHOUT OUT TO OUR FUNDING PARTNER</p><p>This series was created with generous support from the Sy Syms Journalistic Excellence Program of the Sy Syms Foundation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnFiZVN2MFYydWl3OE14b1VHRkxKVDJwM3RVQXxBQ3Jtc0ttSGVEV0tpalB5SHFhU2l4WFZtSE4xWmZ3Ml82S1QtUW5YUnY5cFhpTENGZHBMVGhTWFkyQXB4aTA3bkw5YzFBSDB4enpYVnFpeVAyTXlHTDJpWmlpZ2Jic2FfU3ZrN3pVSWVKVlNlYlNtalpNd3dmdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fsysymsfoundation.org%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sysymsfoundation.org/</a></p><p>WHERE TO FIND THE REST OF THE SERIES</p><p>Read the print series on Women's eNews: </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFdEVVNKTEJlcGlIZEJUOEZXUVptSk1tSmNtUXxBQ3Jtc0tuZ1lid1R6c1pfdWt5VXBmLXFVaHpZRGlrS0lzREhweDVrbWZvbzVSTWxzVjBndTc4U3JkX3g1S2R5NldIczhNYy1VcXNTRGx0TThFNTB2amRKcHhySXFVMzB4OGdXOVFoLXVDSWZmU1gweUR0M1ZDTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwomensenews.org%2F2022%2F03%2Fhow-would-the-era-impact-our-daily-lives%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://womensenews.org/2022/03/how-w...</a></p><p>Other video interviews for this series:</p><p>Interview with Kimberly Peeler-Allen, Board Chair of the ERA Coalition - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9GqL4Mp1PE&t=0s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/G9GqL4Mp1PE</a></p><p><br></p><p>ORGANIZATIONS AND PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INTERVIEW</p><p><br></p><p>Professor Julie Suk</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDN3MnNQdUVfd0RWNGdSNWZ0b0hmTjJNSzJyd3xBQ3Jtc0tsa1BGMW1KRGlHbktuNFNiaU5WVWZwT19kZVlEUUkyMWtxNTNLTGoya2l5NlNVMlU5aUhVZlVHTllzZkdpMGJ4UlYxUW40Y3FwdlFVZ01hbmxrMUc4SGNGR0FTcEdfWU1mZ25YdjU1THd4YTVLVGllcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fjuliecsuk.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://juliecsuk.com</a></p><p>"We The Women: The Unstoppable Mothers of the Equal Rights Amendment," by Julie Suk</p><p><a...
