ERA NOW

Great news on the Equal Rights Amendment. HF71 will go to the MN House floor for a vote this Friday, May 9 at 9:30 am. HF71 would memorialize Congress to remove the deadline of 1982 to get 38 states to agree to ratify the ERA. Thirty-five states did sign on by that original date. The removal of the deadline will allow the ratifications of the final three states needed to secure the ERA into the U.S. Constitution.

This will be a very exciting and historic hearing and vote to attend. “We need a critical mass in order to send a strong message to the MN Legislature that now is the time to legalize equality! Come in white, green or green & white!" - ERAMN

Join us on Friday, May 9 at 8:30 am MN State Capitol

  1. Contact your MN Senator and let them know why they should be urging Senate GOP leadership to bring these bills to the floor for a vote

  2. Contact these key senators
