JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – On August 27^th, an unusually eye-catching vehicle will be parked in the Hugo’s parking lot west of St. John’s Church.

Between 11 AM and 1 PM, “RVG” or “Ruthless Vote Getter” will make a stop in Jamestown, before continuing to Valley City. The vehicle is a purple 28’ RV that tours the country educating voters about the 28^th Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment. The vehicle, which is operated by Vote Equality US, sports signatures from supporters of the amendment, collected throughout the country.

Vote Equality US is a nonpartisan grassroots effort promoting equal rights for all Americans by working to ensure the addition of the fully-ratified 28th Amendment (Equal Rights) to the United States Constitution. The 28^th Amendment reads: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.

The RVG’s Midwest tour will kick off on August 15^th. The North Dakota stops are sponsored by the North Dakota Women’s Network (NDWN). The Jamestown chapter of the NDWN is organizing the August 27^th event.

The tour is meant to present a nonpartisan message of gender equality directly to voters in order to ensure the issue of gender equality is prioritized in daily conversations and on major party platforms. Until the 28^th Amendment is fully ratified, the United States Constitution does not guarantee gender equality. One hundred and sixty eight international constitutions include gender equality. The amendment was first introduced in 1923.

The Vote Equality US Ruthless Vote Getter RV will be in the Jamestown Hugo’s parking lot west of St. John’s Church from 11 AM to 1 PM on August 27^th. Follow the tour progress here: https://voteequality.us/tour/2021-midwest-tour/ and on social media at @VoteEqualityUS. Itinerary is subject to change based on COVID-19 concerns or restrictions.

Vote Equality US’s mission is to increase awareness that gender equality is not in the U.S. Constitution and inspire support for gender equality leaders.
