In Minnesota, we show up for our neighbors and speak up for what’s right. When legislators hear from the people they represent, it matters, and your voice can help make equality a lasting promise for every Minnesotan. Use the sample email and call script below to urge your legislators to pass the ERA in 2027 so we can vote YES for equality in 2028.

Subject: Let Minnesotans Decide: Pass the ERA in 2027
Dear [Senator/Representative] [Last Name],
I’m [Your Name], your constituent in [City/Town]. I’m asking you to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in the 2027 session so Minnesotans can vote YES for equality in 2028.
Most of us grew up believing that in Minnesota, you’re judged by how you treat your neighbors, not by where you came from, who you love, or what your body looks like. That belief is part of who we are. But right now, it isn’t written into our constitution. It depends on laws that can be repealed, policies that can be reversed, and court decisions that can be overturned. Something this fundamental shouldn’t depend on who wins the next election.
That’s what the ERA does. It takes a promise Minnesotans already make to one another and makes it permanent.
I’m not asking you to decide this for us. I’m asking you to let us decide. Voters across this state are ready to make this choice. The only thing standing between us and that vote is the legislature.
When the history of this moment is written, people will ask who stepped up when equality was on the line. I hope you’ll be one of the people who did. Please pass the ERA in 2027 so we can vote YES for equality in 2028.
With gratitude,
[Your Name]

Sample Call Script
Tips before you call:
- You’ll likely reach a staffer or voicemail. Either way, your call counts.
- If you are feeling nervous, remember staffers take these calls all day. They’ll simply listen, and you can read straight from the script below.
- Calls take under a minute. No expertise needed!
- If you’re comfortable, share one sentence about why equality matters to you. That’s what staff remember.
When a staffer or voicemail picks up:
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City/Town]. I’m calling to ask [Senator/Representative] [Last Name] to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in the 2027 session so Minnesotans can vote YES for equality in 2028.
Equality is a Minnesota value, but right now it isn’t protected in our constitution. It depends on laws and court decisions that can change with every election. The ERA would make equal rights permanent for every Minnesotan.
I’m asking the [Senator/Representative] to let us decide. Please pass the ERA in the 2027 legislative session.
Thank you for your time.
