Equal Means Equal is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The group frames gender equality as a foundational fix to persistent inequities affecting women and seeks to educate and mobilize communities around the ERA's potential impact. It emphasizes inclusivity, non-partisanship, and diversity, bringing together people of different ages, races, genders, and religions from across the United States and beyond. It is based in Libertyville, Illinois, and describes itself as an outgrowth of the ERA Education Project, ERA University, and the documentary film Equal Means Equal. The organization collaborates with partners such as Blue State Digital and ERA activist Natalie White, along with state leaders and activists on the ground, to advance its agenda. In 2024, it announced new initiatives, including a national multimedia effort called FINAL IMPACT and the MAKE THE CALL campaign, aimed at pressuring the Biden administration to publish the Equal Rights Amendment before the November elections.
