ERAMN ANNOUNCES MONUMENTAL ERA WIN IN ILLINOIS

By ERAMN Founder Betty Folliard

​ERA Minnesota (ERAMN) is proud to announce that the Equal Rights Amendment just moved closer to final passage after the Illinois Legislature ratified the measure, becoming the 37th state in the nation to do so.

Now only one final state is needed to reach the ¾ threshold for ratification into the U.S. Constitution. Most likely to succeed may be North Carolina whose legislature ends in June.

The ERA is a hundred-year battle similar to the struggle for the right of women to vote. It’s an issue of power and power doesn’t give itself up. But #MeToo and #TimesUp movements underscored that discrimination on the basis of sex will no longer be tolerated.

A major paradigm has shifted. Lawmakers take heed. Time for Minnesota to join with 24 other states in passing a state ERA into our state constitution.

What has to be done? I contacted my State Rep John Lesch when I read the article about Illinois. He stated that big business and the chamber of commerce kill it every year. I don't have money, but I do have some time and a passion to see this pasted in my lifetime.
Thank you

I spoke to John Lesch this week and he promised he’ll sign on as a co-author to our legislation this Session. Make sure he does, Mary!
