The fight for 38 appears to be closing in on the finish line. 35 years after the deadline ran out, suddenly Nevada popped up and ratified the ERA in 2017 and, last May, Illinois became state number 37. Carol Jenkins and Carol Robles-Roman have been fighting this fight for years, searching for the next state that will take them over the top. But the fight won’t end there.  Remember, the deadline ran out in 1982, so they’re working to get Congress to extend it.  They’ll talk about both those battles, which state they believe will take them over the top (hint:  it’s Virginia), and why this is a national issue with local implications.
