Minnesota Democrats are making it clear that one of their top priorities is to make far-left policies permanent by placing them into the State Constitution. This starts with the woke, pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien, so-called Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) ballot initiative.

On Thursday, Nov. 12th at the MN Capitol, far-left legislators and activists held a press conference announcing their intent to pass the so-called Equal Rights Amendment at the beginning of the legislative session. This included speeches from the bill’s House author transgender “Leigh” Finke, Senate author Mary Kunesh, and new Democrat House Majority Whip, DSA-backed Samantha Sencer-Mura.

Among other things, the so-called Equal Rights Amendment wants to permanently keep men in women’s sports/locker rooms, put sexually-driven “PRIDE” flags in schools, and allow inappropriate drag queens to perform in front of children. Democrats have notably refused to add language protecting religious or individual liberties to this Amendment. Instead, Democrats want a wide-sweeping Amendment for a person’s “sex”, “sexual orientation”, and “gender identity or expression”.

Democrats also want to protect illegal aliens by covering “ancestry” and “national origin” in their laundry list of an Amendment.

Do not forget: Democrats removed a portion of the Minnesota Human Rights Act that specifically stated that pedophilia was NOT a protected sexual orientation! This means Democrats provided a legal method to define pedophilia as a sexual orientation.

Despite portraying the opposite, Democrats are the political party that is truly in support of discrimination. Democrats support DEI which discriminates against white people. Democrats support colleges and universities holding white students to higher application standards. Democrats want Congressional districts drawn based on racial make-up. Democrats support self-segregation with black-only schools. Democrats believe conservatives should be cancelled simply for thinking differently than them.

Additionally, some jobs are gender-specific and do not need the government imposing a opposite sexes take over roles like locker room attendants, prison correctional officers, religious clergies, and sex-specific medical roles. Minnesota may also see a major loss in entertainment as certain roles are designed for individuals with certain characteristics, which would now be seen as discrimination.

The so-called Equal Rights Amendment was passed in the State Senate in 2023 with the support of six RINO Senators including Julia Coleman, Rich Draheim, Zach Duckworth, Karin Housley, John Jasinski, and Jeremy Miller. RINO Jim Abeler did not vote. The State House passed the bill in 2024 with a partisan vote.

Since the legislation was passed in two different years, it did not move forward to the ballot.

Unlike the previous ERA, this legislation now seeks to cover “pregnancy” and “pregnancy outcomes”. Democrats want to enshrine their support of late-term and post-birth abortions in the State Constitution so it becomes even harder to reverse course.

If this legislation is passed, Minnesota voters will vote in 2028 on whether or not they should add this provision to the State Constitution. This initiative would require over 50% of the vote to be implemented. 

Incoming Governor Amy Klobuchar has not yet committed her support to the so-called Equal Rights Amendment but has expressed openess. In Minnesota, the Governor does not have a role in Constitutional Amendments and cannot pass or veto the Amendment. Rep. “Leigh” Finke and Sen. Mary Kunesh stated in their press conference that they have spoken with Klobuchar on the issue and believe she will support the measure. Finke also made that point on social media, see below:

Far-left politicians will start this process but voters will ultimately decide if the woke, pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien, so-called Equal Rights Amendment passes or fails.
