Religious Committee for the ERA
Religious Committee for the ERA was an American women's rights organization active in the late 1970s and early 1980s that advocated for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Overview 
The Religious Committee for the ERA was an organization of faith based feminists who planned a series of events to raise awareness of the need for an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The organization had eight founders. The organization included Catholics, Jewish supporters, Quakers, Presbyterians and many others from a wide variety of faith traditions. After the ERA failed to pass in June 1982, the organization changed its name to Religious Network for Equality of Women. They were also known as Renew. Timeline of political activity
