Ratified film screening and discussion

Join Her Term on Sunday, January 11 from 3-5 p.m. for a screening and discussion of Ratified, a feature documentary about the 100-year struggle to embed gender equality into the U.S. Constitution through the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

The Ratified production team was on the ground for three years in Virginia documenting the bi-partisan, multi-racial, multi-generational group of politicians and activists pushed Virginia to become the 38th and final state to ratify the ERA.

The film has an important message for those interested in being involved in the work of building a political infrastructure that centers women: this work unfolds over years and each small win builds momentum towards the long arc of justice.

Featured guest: LISA CAMPBELL

Rep. Lisa Campbell

State Representative Lisa Campbell will be joining us to introduce the film and share an important update on the ERA legislation she has introduced in the Georgia Legislature, including where things stand today and what’s at stake in this moment. Campbell is the Georgia House Representative for District 35, Acworth, Kennesaw, and Marietta. In early 2025, she sponsored a resolution in the state House to recognize the ERA as “the law of the land.” Campbell explained, “This work and this fight has been going on for 100 years, and in this body and in this chamber, week after week, we are hearing them talk about protecting women and girls. The Equal Rights Amendment does exactly that. So, the conversation should be, why aren’t all of our states ratifying this amendment once and for all?”
