If you haven't signed - sign NOW!If you haven't signed yet and you believe MN should have Equal Rights for ALL - sign the Minnesotans for Equality petition! The petition, with all of your signatures, was presented to legislators at the International Women's Day Rally on March 8th, 2022 to show that we do not stand alone - the citizens of Minnesota stand with us! Signature collection continues for all of Women's History Month and will be presented again.
The petition was presented to our Legislators on March 8 - International Women's Day, and will be updated at the end of the month. Our goal is to get an ERA question on the Nov 2022 ballot - so we, the citizens of MN, can vote on it.
If you are an Ally - please post a link to this Minnesotans for Equality petition on your social media platforms between Feb 22 - March 30, and describe why you want Minnesotans to vote on adding the ERA to our state constitution. (see more info below)

Passing the Equal Rights Amendment will ensure that the rights of women and girls are guaranteed by our Minnesota Constitution. This measure is intersectional and will positively affect inequities in the lives and economic status of individuals most affected: LBGTQIA, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and Women of Color. We're teaming up with ERAMN to show legislators there is real support for the ERA. Please click this link (eramn.org/petition-donation) to sign the “Minnesotans for Equality" petition today. Then share this link to your own page to demonstrate why YOU support the state ERA for Minnesota! #ERA4MN
