Meryl Streep just dumped a bunch of letters on Congress, calling for the revival of the Equal Rights Amendment.
That’s according to the Associated Press. Everybody in the House and Senate just got a letter signed by Meryl herself, which read: “I am writing to ask you to stand up for equality — for your mother, your daughter, your sister, your wife or yourself – by actively supporting the Equal Rights Amendment,” and noted that “A whole new generation of women and girls are talking about equality — equal pay, equal protection from sexual assault, equal rights.” They all got copies of Equal Means Equal, a book by ERA Coalition president Jessica Neuwirth, as well.
