In this episode, Megan Peterson, Executive Director at Gender Justice, and Jess Braverman, Legal Director at Gender Justice, discuss the work leading to the language to revise and secure equal rights in the Minnesota state constitution. 
Megan and Jess provide an overview of the stakeholder-inclusive process of identifying and revising its language and the importance of specificity and inclusivity, while remaining as all-encompassing as possible. 
Megan and Jess discuss the historical and current context, the significance of intersectionality, strict scrutiny standards, and the amendment's relationship to Minnesota's Human Rights Act.
