Jennifer McClellan on Civil Rights

 

 


Led fight to get Virginia to ratify Equal Rights Amendment

Jennifer McClellan believes that all Virginians should be treated with respect and dignity. No one should be discriminated against because of who they are, who they love, or what they believe. As a legislator, Jenn has been a leader in the fight for civil rights for all. She led the fight in the Senate to make Virginia the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and the 28th state to extend protections against discrimination for pregnant workers and new mothers.
