ERA YES - Videos: Making an Impact for Equality
The ERA MN video project is a way for everyday Minnesotans to tell each other why the amendment matters to them and that equality should be a core value for all Minnesotans.
It's simple - ERA MN is asking people to create short 30 to ~90 second videos featuring themselves or people they know talking about why the ERA matters to them. Then post them and let us know so we can add them to our Video Gallery.
