"Come to Illinois. Rally for Equal Rights" flyer, May 15-16, 1976
This flyer encouraged supporters to travel to Springfield, the capitol of Illinois, where the state House had already voted in favor of the Equal Rights Amendment. The Illinois Senate had a planned vote on ratification. If the Senate voted yes on ratification, Illinois would have been the 35th state to ratify the ERA. Ultimately the Illinois Senate did not ratify the ERA in 1976.
