In 2020, I worked with @senatorlocke.bsky.social and then-Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy to pass legislation making Virginia — the birthplace of American democracy and American slavery — the 38th and final state necessary to ratify the ERA. It was poetic justice.

For 102 years, activists have worked to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, an extension of the 14th Amendment’s promise.  Women of color have been in the fight for equality for all from the beginning, even when relegated to the background and the last to benefit from progress.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 17(source)
In 1868, the 14th Amendment guaranteed equal protection under the law to all.  But the Supreme Court applied stricter rules for discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin than it did on the basis of sex. This is not true equal protection for all.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 17(source)
The U.S. Constitution promised to create a government by, of and for the people, but it did not include everyone. The founding fathers ignored Abigail Adams’ call to “remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.”
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 17(source)
In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that all men were created equal.  72 years later, Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote the sequel: the Declaration of Sentiments, declaring all men and women were created equal.

From my work in the Virginia General Assembly to my service in Congress, I’ve spent years fighting for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. I’m humbled to be a part of this historic moment. But the fight began long before me and includes many champions seen and unseen. 🧵

In 2020, I carried legislation making Virginia the 38th and final state necessary to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, President Biden capstones his legacy as a champion for women’s rights by affirming the ERA is the law of the land as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Graphic. Background is photo of Rep. McClellan outside of the Capitol speaking on the 100th anniversary since introduction of the ERA. Text of podium sign reads “IT’S BEEN 100 YEARS. NOT ONE MORE. #ERANow.” Text reads “ERA: THE LAW OF THE LAND.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present in the bottom left corner of the page.

Today, I voted no on the so-called Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act. Immigrants convicted of sexual/domestic assault already can be deported now. This bill actually hurts survivors by penalizing them for reporting their abuse.
Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJan 16(source)
As we have seen in Los Angeles and Maui, the climate crisis intensifies wildfires. We must further develop wildfire response technologies. I joined Rep. Vince Fong in reintroducing the bipartisan ACERO Act to support drone use to help firefighters protect our communities.
Graphic. Background is firefighter facing away from the camera. Text reads “MCCLELLAN, FONG REINTRODUCE BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION TO HELP FIGHT WILDFIRES.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present at the bottom center of the page.

House Republicans are plotting to cut funding to Medicare and affordable healthcare. In Virginia, the stakes are life or death for 2 million people, especially in rural communities. Read my statement and more about the issue in Dogwood ⬇️
