Learn more about the New York Equal Rights Amendment (NY ERA), a ballot proposal to amend the New York State Constitution. Adding to existing protections against discrimination based on race and religion, this amendment to the New York State Constitution would explicitly protect discrimination based on a person’s ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex—including their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression in addition to pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. New Yorkers will have the opportunity to vote for or against this Amendment on November 5th.
