An Equal Rights Amendment supporters yell encouragement to two legislators as they walk down a hallway
inside the state Capitol in Richmond, Va., Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020. A House committee approved a
resolution Tuesday, to ratify the state’s Equal Rights Amendment, which advocates hope will become the
next amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The 13-9 vote split along party lines, with all Democrats
supporting it and all Republicans opposing it.
