Guest Jennifer Tucker, Senior Adviser for Strategic Partnerships and Engagement, Equal Rights Amendment Coalition Fund for Women Equality (FFWE) ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: I have a special guest for this show, joining me on the phone from Washington DC will be Jennifer Tucker, Senior Adviser for Strategic Partnerships and Engagement ERA Coalition Fund for Women Equality (FFWE). According to the website of The Fund for Women’s Equality, FFWE is a national organization that promotes sex equality in the United States. We seek bold change and are helping lead a community and political movement for Constitutional recognition. We increase public understanding of the need for codifying the equal treatment of people on the basis of sex in the Constitution, and the need to end sex inequality in all its forms. We are a sister organization to the ERA Coalition, which works for the passage and ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and broader Constitutional equality. Today is the last show of the month and time for the Women's Spaces Pledge. Our first break will be feature a description of Women's Equality Day as presented by Time Magazine in a YouTube video. 2. Our Guest Jennifer Tucker begins by sharing her long journey of activism, which started with the implementation of Title IX in the 1970s. Over the years, her work has spanned multiple issues, including violence against women, reproductive rights, economic opportunity, and the broader goal of ensuring equal treatment and opportunities for women and girls. Jennifer highlights the enduring struggle for equality, noting that while progress has been made, fundamental challenges remain, such as the lack of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the U.S. Constitution. The interview touches on Jennifer's inspirations, particularly her mother, who, despite not identifying as a feminist, instilled in her a strong sense of justice and equality. Jennifer also recounts her experience working with Shirley Chisholm and being involved in the formation of the National Political Congress of Black Women, emphasizing the importance of women supporting each other and standing up for their rights. The conversation shifts to the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and its significance. Jennifer explains that the ERA, which has been ratified by the necessary number of states, still faces legal and political hurdles. It is important to vote up and down the ballot, as it will take a resolution of Congress to approve the Equal Rights Amendment. She stresses that having the ERA in the Constitution would strengthen legal protections against gender discrimination.
Jennifer also discusses the
excitement and hope she feels
after attending the Democratic
National Convention and seeing
women like Kamala Harris in
positions of power, noting that
Harris's experience and
readiness make her a strong
leader. She concludes by urging
women to be active in the
political process, to vote and
encourage others to vote, and to
hold their representatives
accountable for supporting the
Equal Rights Amendment and
other issues critical to women's
rights. About our Guest: Jennifer Tucker, M.A., has dedicated her career to advancing human rights for women and vulnerable populations. Recently, she was Vice President at the Center for Women Policy Studies, where she played a key role in developing the Foreign Policy Institute for State Legislators and the Global Power® program. Tucker led initiatives addressing women's education, employment, economic, and family roles, and directed the National Program on Girls and Violence, which explored girls' involvement in violence and its causes.
Before joining the Center in
1990, Tucker directed the
Effective Management of
Technology Project at the
Council of the Great City
Schools, assisting urban
educators with technology-based
programs. As a senior program
associate with PEER of the NOW
Legal Defense and Education
Fund, she contributed to the
first study on Title IX
enforcement, published as
Stalled at the Start. She is now
Senior Advisor for the ERA Fund
for Women's Equality (FFWE) and
recently attended the Democratic
National Convention.
