MN LEGISLATURE ACTION ALERTS, 3/6/18


Minnesotans! Our state legislature is considering important new legislation. They could vote on these measures at any time, as they don't schedule votes in advance. Please call your district reps; script is provided below if you need it.

If you like, you can use the script when you make these calls, and take our word for it that you'll be opposing legislation curtailing the free speech of protestors, rolling back environmental regulations, and locking the media and watchdog groups out of agricultural research data, while supporting legislation strengthening sexual harassment law. Or consult more background by Watch Your Reps MN (from whom we've received this info, as we're often fortunate enough to do).
