Dear DFL Environmental Caucus member,
Our Legislative team is organizing events to help inform you about key bills being considered in the House and Senate. We will send you calls to action to show support or opposition to your representatives and other key reps. Please fill out this google survey to let us know of your interests and availability to help.
The time is NOW to move MN forward on climate and other key environmental issues. Make sure your voice is heard!
#1: Participate in the 100% Campaign Lobby Day
Please join the 100% campaign to Lobby for our Future on Jan. 25th!

If you want to know how to go from ‘murky problem’ to ‘bill being signed into law’, this is the training for you. We’ll get oriented to the process, apply it to the 2023 legislative session, and workshop a few ideas for equitable climate solutions.

From the 100% campaign: “Join us and 300 grassroot leaders across MN on the 25th in leveraging this historic opportunity at the capitol to win a bold, and equitable clean energy transition in MN. Participants will receive a brief and intentional training on how to lobby their legislators in support of the 100% Bill HF 7 in the House and it’s companion bill in the Senate SF4 . They’ll then be organized into teams with fellow constituents to lead their lobby meetings with legislators. See ya at the capitol!”
