House Parties

House Parties are a great way to socialize and educate your friends and neighbors!  One of our biggest hurdles is making sure people know that we do NOT have an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Minnesota or in the USA; and then let them know why we really do need one.  The best way to accomplish this is for friends, family and neighbors to talk to each other one to one -- make it personal, share your own stories and then educate.
