SUMMARY:Asian Minnesotans at the Capitol

This event is for everyone- whether it is your first time at the State Legislature or 100th\, please come advocate and learn about the legislative process. \nThe day will start with a brief training about how to talk to legislators and go over key priority issues. After the training\, you will have the opportunity to meet with your Minnesota State Legislators to discuss issues that matter to you and your communities. \nUpdated March 18\, 2020: To reduce the spread of COVID-19 and comply with CDC and MDH’s recommendations to avoid being in crowds of people we will change the format of the Asian Minnesotans at the Capitol on Thursday\, April 2\, 2020 into a virtual advocacy day in lieu of the traditional in-person event we have organized over the years. In place of the in-person event\, we are exploring digital avenues to continue advocating for issues that affect our community. \nThis event is free\, but we would appreciate early registration to give the event planners time to both plan and schedule meetings with your legislators. \nPriority Registration Deadline: Friday\, March 13\, 2020 \nFinal Registration Deadline: Wednesday\, March 25\, 2020 \nIf you are interested in volunteering for Asian Minnesotans at the Capitol\, please see this form: https://secure.everyaction.com/xCigGvJkR0q5oSd63nXBmg2 \nLunch and light snacks will be provided.
