Abstract

The article discusses the potential benefits for seniors if the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is ratified as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It outlines how the ERA could provide protections against age discrimination in the workplace, ensure equal access to health and life insurance, and safeguard the rights of women and LGBTQ individuals. The article emphasizes the historical context of the ERA, its ratification process, and the ongoing debate surrounding its status, while also suggesting actions that individuals and organizations can take to support its implementation.
