This resolution calls on Congress to recognize that the requirements for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) have been fulfilled, and to officially designate it as the Twenty-Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The ERA, which was first passed by Congress in 1972, guarantees that equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. With Virginia's ratification on January 27, 2020, the amendment has now been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of states, yet the Archivist of the United States has not certified it. The resolution emphasizes the importance of the ERA in advancing gender justice and providing a legal remedy against sex discrimination.

Furthermore, the resolution highlights the potential risks of not enshrining the ERA in the Constitution, as existing legislation and case law promoting gender equality could be undermined. It urges Congress to pass House Resolution 891, which would affirm the ratification of the ERA and its status as the Twenty-Eighth Amendment. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State of Minnesota to distribute copies of this memorial to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for the recognition of the ERA.
