Our New York State Constitution is wholly inadequate in ensuring equality. Panelists include Dr. Jan McViker (SUNY Fredonia professor and LWVCC member), BJ Stasio (an advocate for people with disabilities), and Dr. Jonathan Chausovsky (SUNY Fredonia professor). Panelists will educate the campus community about what adding an Equal Rights Amendment to our state constitution would bring to our state, such as making it unconstitutional for the government to discriminate based on a person's ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex -- including their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and pregnancy outcomes. 

Join us for a panel discussion on Proposition 1: No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state or any subdivision thereof.  The League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County is co-sponsoring the event. Light refreshments will be provided, followed by a FREE lunch.
