Minnesota Water Action Day 2019

Minnesota's 2019 Water Action Day has been set for April 10.  Last year, more than 700 people came to the State Capitol for this event.  These citizen lobbyists took the message of water protection to their legislators through 145 legislative meetings, touching about 70% of the legislature.  

This all-day event includes free breakfast and briefings in the morning, both on how to actively engage legislators and on the water issues that we face in Minnesota. Throughout the day, attendees will meet with legislators to ask them to protect our water, and the Clean Water Rally will be held in the Capitol Rotunda at 2:00 pm.

Register now at this link so meetings with your legislators can be set up!  Bus transportation provided from multiple sites around Minnesota!  The threats to Minnesota's waters are real this session - make your voice heard! 

LWV Upper Mississippi River Region is one of the many organizations working together to make this event a success.   This year, we are in charge of staffing the kitchen to keep this army of volunteers well-fed.  Volunteers are needed to work a  shift  - if you are able to help, email us at lwvumrr@lwvmn.org . The shifts available are:
7-8:30 a.m.,  8:30-l0:00 a.m.,  10:00-1130 a.m., 11:30 – 1:00 p.m., and 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
