A Minnesota For Everyone
The Minnesota Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is about creating opportunities for everyone regardless of their gender. The purpose of the Minnesota ERA is to:
Adding an equal rights amendment to the constitution is another step forward in Minnesota’s long journey towards becoming a place that embraces the diversity and uniqueness of its people. It’s been almost fifty years since Minnesota passed legislation in support of the Federal ERA and almost one hundred years since women won the right to vote. As we continue to work towards getting enough states to ratify the Federal ERA, we continue to live in a world where women still earn less than men and are significantly more likely to face gender discrimination. We can change this together! |
