Minnesota and the ERA - Equal Rights Amendment

KAXE | By Heidi Holtan
Published July 1, 2019 at 10:39 AM CDT

This year in the MN Legislature there was a bill to let the voters decide in 2020 if  Equal Rights Amendment to the MN Constitution should be added.  It did not pass. 

Our longtime DFL commentator Colleen Nardone has been around for a lot of discussion about women and the Equal Rights Amendment - she joined us on Making Sausage.

Check out the history of the ERA in the Minnesota Legislature from the Legislative Reference Library.
