Final Impact Campaign by Equal Means Equal Brings a New Photo Installation to West Hollywood
Equal Means Equal, a national nonprofit organization, has partnered with the City of West Hollywood, the City Council, and Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath to expand its Final Impact campaign with a large-scale photo installation in West Hollywood. Inspired by French artist JR’s Inside Out Project, this installation, created in collaboration with Branded Arts, will be on display at the West Hollywood Public Library on N. San Vicente Blvd. from October 14 through the end of the year. The installation was photographed by Sonja Nuttall, a board member and lead adviser for Equal Means Equal.
Final Impact aims to highlight the urgency of publishing the ratified Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to address civil and human rights issues affecting women, girls, and the LGBTQ community. The campaign has garnered support from public figures like Patricia Arquette, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Moore, and Cornel West, and follows similar installations in New York City, Colorado Springs, and Traverse City.
“The time for equality is now. Final Impact is about making sure everyone understands how close we are to securing equal rights for all,” said Equal Means Equal founder Kamala Lopez. “We hope our newest art installation will inspire the action needed to finally publish the ERA and guarantee justice for all Americans, regardless of sex or gender.”
The organization underscores that only a directive from the President to the U.S. Archivist is needed to publish the ERA, as required for its enactment. Recent statements from the American Bar Association and the League of Women Voters affirm that the amendment, having been ratified by the required states, awaits only publication for enforcement.
