Please join us for the premiere screening of RATIFIED on Monday, October 14, 2024, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles. This powerful documentary highlights the 100-year struggle for constitutional gender equality and tells the inspiring story of the bi-partisan, multi-racial, and multi-generational effort that led to Virginia becoming the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. It also highlights the crucial role of Black women leaders in the fight for gender equality.
Hosted in partnership with the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and the Center for the Advancement of Women, the event will include a film screening at 6:30 PM followed by a coalition Q&A co-hosted by the Commission and the Center for the Advancement of Women, featuring Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan (VA-04), Commissioner Catalina Chacón, Vote Equality founder Kati Hornung, and moderated by the Commission’s Executive Director, Darcy Totten. This is a unique opportunity for community members, students, activists, and storytellers to engage with the history and future of gender equality in America.
Film Overview: Ratified follows a multi-racial, multi-generational coalition of activists and politicians taking up the mantle of the 100-year struggle to enshrine the Equal Rights Amendment in the US Constitution by pushing Virginia to become the 38th and final state needed to ratify the ERA.
