This collection documents Faulkner's participation and activities in ERA-related organizations through letters, manuscripts, meeting minutes, a filmstrip, printed items and lists. Arrangement is by organization and event name (ERA Georgia, Inc.; People of Faith for the ERA in Georgia; United Methodist Church; and a White House Briefing on the ERA) followed by miscellaneous letters and writings of and by Faulkner. The ERA Georgia Inc. materials, 1976-1980, include proposed Georgia Code changes for the 1977 legislative session, a copy of the U.S. House of Representatives' 1978 resolution to extend the ERA ratification deadline, and 1980 meeting minutes and nominating committee information. People of Faith for the ERA in Georgia materials include form letters, programs, and invitations to events, rallies and religious services they sponsored (including a 1981 appearance by Mormon feminist Sonia Johnson), clippings pertaining to Johnson and to Helen Douberly (treasurer of People of Faith), circa 1979 membership forms, and educational materials (including the 1976 filmstrip What's All This About An ERA?). Faulkner's activities, 1975-1981, with the United Methodist Church as a member of both the United Methodist Women and Church Women United are documented through correspondence, an Equal Rights Amendment Coordinator job description, and Faulkner's notes, program, follow-up letters and handouts from the 1980 South Atlantic States Workshop on the ERA held in Raleigh, North Carolina. Also included are signed statements, 1980, of ERA support from retired deaconesses, missionaries, and staff of the Brooks-Howell Home in Asheville, North Carolina. The material from the February 12, 1980 White House Briefing on the ERA consists of correspondence and printed material issued by the Carter Administration, as well as miscellaneous educational material (1977-1980) which was distributed. The latter group contains undated (possibly published) printed items on "Hispanic Americans and the ERA" by Wilma Espinosa, and "Women in the Military" (unsigned). The 1980 letters and a related clipping were sent to Faulkner from Georgia legislators regarding the ERA. Writings by Faulkner include letters, speeches and introductions, and autobiographical pieces written circa 1979-1986 about the ERA and women's issues. Letters and notes, 1995, from Faulkner to Jeff Jones and from Betty Dean (former secretary to People of Faith) to Faulkner pertain to the items Faulkner was giving to Jones which became the basis for this collection.
