	In 1970, after stepping down as NOW's first president, Friedan organized the nationwide [[Women's Strike for Equality]] on August 26, the 50th anniversary of the [[Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution]] granting [[women's suffrage in the United States\|women the right to vote]]. The national strike was successful beyond expectations in broadening the feminist movement; the march led by Friedan in New York City alone attracted over 50,000 people. In 1971, Friedan joined other leading feminists to establish the [[National Women's Political Caucus]]. Friedan was also a strong supporter of the proposed [[Equal Rights Amendment]] to the United States Constitution that passed the United States House of Representatives (by a vote of 354–24) and Senate (84–8) following intense pressure by women's groups led by NOW in the early 1970s. Following Congressional passage of the amendment, Friedan advocated for ratification of the amendment in the states and supported other women's rights reforms: she founded the [[NARAL Pro-Choice America\|National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws]] but was later critical of the abortion-centered positions of many liberal feminists.
