Join members of the Minnesotans for Equal Rights Coalition (MN4ER) for an engaging and informative webinar on the movement to pass an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Minnesota Constitution.
As people of faith committed to justice and equity, we play a vital role in ensuring constitutional protections against gender-based discrimination. The Minnesota ERA bill (SF37, HF173) intersects with issues so many of our faith communities are already committed to and engaged in: reproductive justice, trans refuge, disability justice, and anti-racism.
This webinar will cover the ERA's history, its current status in Minnesota, and why this work is more urgent than ever given the shifting landscape of rights and protections under the current federal administration. Speakers will provide insights into the legal and social impact of an ERA, as well as actionable ways to support its passage.
Now is the time to rise up for equal rights. Learn how you can be part of this historic effort!
