A Remarkable Voice Joins the Road to Equality

On March 1, 2026 — the very day our Golden Flyer II rolled out of New York City to begin its 25-state journey across America — Pat Mitchell sat down and wrote to her readers about why this campaign matters.

Pat Mitchell knows something about history-making. As the first woman to serve as President and CEO of PBS, she has spent decades amplifying voices and stories that shape how America understands itself. When she writes about the Equal Rights Amendment, she does so not as an observer, but as someone who has watched constitutional rights bend to political winds — and knows exactly what it means when they do.

Her newsletter, published the morning of our launch, captures the heart of what we're doing and why: the ERA has been ratified by 38 states. It has met every threshold. What remains is for Congress to finish the work. We're driving across America to make sure they do.

We are grateful to Pat for her support and her eloquence, and we’re linking you directly to her words with her full permission. Read them. Then add your name at Sign4ERA.org.
