Minnesota DFL lawmakers plan to bring back the Equal Rights Amendment, or ERA, during the next legislative session, which starts in January. The bill would ask voters to amend the state constitution to seal protections for race, sex and gender identity among others. Democrats have introduced the ERA dozens of times at the state legislature. It came close to passing in 2024 when the party held a slim majority. But the DFL has a wider majority after the 2026 midterms. Jill Hasday, a constitutional law professor at the University of Minnesota, joined Minnesota Now to explain what it would mean for the state to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
