ERA Minnesota Campaign
ERA Minnesota worked hard to garner public awareness and candidate support during the 2018 elections and again for the 2019 elections. Our next step is passing the legislation out of both the MN House (passed in 2019) and Senate (won't look at it) during the 2019-2020 legislative session. A Constitutional amendment does not have to be approved by the Governor, so a simple majority in both the House and Senate is all that's needed for the amendment to be placed on the ballot in the next statewide election in 2020.

NOW is the Time to ensure EQUAL JUSTICE for ALL! |
