Women's rights group that promoted the Equal Rights Amendment.

Explanation:
The Equal Rights Amendment was pushed by a prominent modern feminist organization, NOW—the National Organization for Women. NOW formed in the 1960s specifically to push for broad gender equality and made ERA a top priority, using lobbying, public campaigns, and coalition-building to push for nationwide ratification in the 1970s. While other groups played important roles in civil rights, voting education, or earlier ERA advocacy, NOW became the most visible and active force in promoting the ERA in the contemporary movement for women's rights.
