ERA Minnesota

Did you know there is not an Amendment to either the Minnesota or the U.S. Constitution that specifically provides equal legal protection regardless of gender under the law?

​If you didn't,  you are not alone -- 76% of the population thinks we already have an Equal Rights Amendment and 97% of the country believes we should!

We at ERA Minnesota are working to make equal legal rights for all a reality.

Minnesota has been active in trying to get the ERA passed since the 1970's. Our state was the 26th state to ratify the federal amendment in 1973. What many people don't realize is that not enough states nationwide ratified, so the federal amendment effort went dormant on June 30, 1982.  

At ERAMN we organize, educate and activate to: 
  1. add a Minnesota ERA into our State Constitution  and
  2. enact the Federal ERA as the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution.
