ERAMN Plans Virtual Press Conference On International Women's Day

ERA Minnesota will roll out its legislative agenda and action plan at the March 8 event.

Press release from ERA Minnesota:

Feb. 26, 2021

In celebration of International Women’s Day 2021, ERA Minnesota (www.ERAMN.org) will roll-out its legislative agenda and plan action for the final push to make the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution and to add an ERA into the Minnesota Constitution, through a VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE on Monday, March 8, 2021.

“Minnesota is way behind on adding an ERA into our state constitution: 26 states in the Union already have state ERA’s, but not us,” said Heather Allison, President of ERA Minnesota. “Valuing gender equality is a cornerstone to a thriving economy. You don’t drive a car on two wheels; why hamstring our economy by allowing major roadblocks of pay inequity, pregnancy discrimination and sexual violence to negatively impact half our state population?”

“The Equal Rights Amendment has now met all the constitutional requirements to become the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution,” said Betty Folliard, Founder of ERAMN. “We demand action on equality in America and equality is spelled: ERA”.

There will be a brief presentation, then a Q & A session for the press/media.
