SUMMARY:Protecting Our Wetlands: From Federal Cuts to Minnesota's Moment
DESCRIPTION:Wetlands are Minnesota’s unsung heroes – filtering our water\, storing carbon\, buffering floods\, sheltering wildlife\, and quietly providing the backdrop for some of our most cherished outdoor experiences. Right now\, they need our protection. \n\n\n\nThis is Minnesota’s chance to step up and protect our wetlands for future generations in the face of aggressive federal rollbacks. \n\n\n\nRegister today to learn more about the environmental powers of wetlands and how we can be responsible stewards of these incredible ecosystems for today and tomorrow. \n\n\n\nPanelists include experts from Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy\, The Nature Conservancy\, and Pew Charitable Trusts.

SUMMARY:BWCA Fight: What's Next
DESCRIPTION:The fight for the Boundary Waters is now in Minnesotans’ hands. State-level action is critical because Trump and his allies in Congress have stripped away protections from the BWCA watershed. Join Margaret Levin\, State Director\, and Athan Manuel\, National Director of the Sierra Club’s Lands Protection Program to learn what comes next in the fight to protect the Boundary Waters from toxic copper-sulfide mining. \n\n\n\nThese mines cannot move forward without state permits. Governor Walz\, the Department of Natural Resources\, and our next governor will be essential in stopping these toxic mines. And YOU have an important role to play too. \n\n\n\nJoin us to get updated and learn what’s coming next.
