Feel confident and spread the word. Be prepared with a short pitch to spark curiosity and be ready to knowledgeably answer follow-up questions. You’ll have many opportunities to talk about the 28th Amendment (Equal Rights) and why it’s important to you. Make sure you’re ready to make the most of them!
