ERA IS within our reach!

Tune in Mon. 8 PM Eastern - Do not miss my guest Idella Moore

Idella Moore is founder and Executive Officer of a national, single-issue, non-partisan organization whose mission is to finish ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment would guarantee legal equality to men and women and should it be ratified it would become only the second constitutional guarantee for women. The only other right that women are explicitly guaranteed in the Constitution is the right to vote.

Idella's support for the Equal Rights Amendment began in the 1970's but it was in the early 1980s, while a student at Florida State University, that she became an active grassroots participant during the last intense efforts to get Florida to ratify the ERA. Like millions of others, Idella was devastated that the amendment was not ratified by the deadline, June 30, 1982.

It was in protest of that ratification that Idella moved to England in 1982 and remained there for the next decade and a half. She and her family returned to the US in the late 1990's but it wasn't until 2002 that she learned there was a renewed campaign to ratify the ERA. Within a few months, she formed 4ERA.org. Initially founded as a Georgia group, because of overwhelming demand, a year later hers became a national organization. It is the only, national single issue ERA membership organization. It now has an online membership representing men and women in 49 states, from all political parties and across all age groups.

Idella does a great deal of research and writing about the ERA and gives presentations to organizations at the local, state, regional and national levels. Today, hers is either leading, guiding or giving technical and advocacy assistance to campaigns in 13 of the ERA unratified states.

Idella holds a BA in Philosophy and an MA in history. She is the mother of a 16 year old daughter and lives in Smyrna, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.
