EVENT Mar 1: Women’s March MN Happy Hour to Prepare for International Women’s Day by Supporting the Equal Rights Amendment

Women’s March MN is partnering with ERA Minnesota (ERAMN) to host a Zoom happy hour where we can catch up, share a beverage, sign a petition and have a chance to tell your ERA story for a video campaign.

Can you believe we’re still fighting for equal rights? Minnesotans should have a chance to vote on an Equal Rights Amendment to the Minnesota constitution. Unfortunately, Minnesota's Legislature continues to stand in the way. 

Ahead of International Women's Day on March 8, we are encouraging our members to sign the ERAMN petition demanding the Minnesota Legislature give citizens a chance to vote on an ERA to our state constitution. And we’re asking you to spread the word – share the link on your social media channels – tag friends too! Or go all the way and record a short 30-45 second video about why you support the MNERA. 

WMM wanted to make those videos even easier by hosting a happy hour where we help you record. The agenda is simple, catch up and talk about the ERA. We want to know how long you have been personally marching for equal rights. Do you remember attending events with a parent, with friends or maybe you brought your kids? What does the ERA mean to you? If you are moved to speak – you can do it in the Zoom. We will record and share for you!

You are not required to do a video if you join us.  We just want your energy to help us all get boosted for the fight. Conversely – you don’t need to join the Zoom to submit a video. MNERA has instructions you can use to create a video any time.

We also have exciting news for International Women's Day (IWD) on March 8. WMM and ERAMN will be airing a radio program on KFAI on March 8 as part of KFAI’s 24-hour special programming for IWD 2022. More details to be revealed on the Zoom. Our conversation Mar 1 may help inform the show!
