About this event
Today, neither the Minnesota nor the U.S. Constitutions specifically provide equal protection under the law based on sex and gender. Hear from Gender Justice's Senior Advisor Alissa Light as she discusses why Gender Justice and Gender Justice Action, in partnership with ERAMN and a group of powerful community leaders and organizations, are working to pass the Minnesota Equal Rights Amendment - which would be the strongest and most inclusive ERA in the country.
Gender Justice’s legal team led a process to gather input and insight on the strongest possible language for a state ERA from a cross-section of practicing legal experts and legal scholars with expertise in constitutional and human rights law, legal aid, gender and racial discrimination, disability rights, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, and more. The Minnesota Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would offer everyone the strongest possible protections against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, or sex — including pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes including abortion, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation — no matter who’s in power in state government.
