SUMMARY:Rise & Repair 2025 Rally + Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 12th at the Minnesota State Capitol for a powerful day of gathering and community action. We are coming together at a pivotal moment in our nation’s history—one that demands each of us to stand up for climate justice and the well-being of ALL our relations.\nRecent actions by the Federal government threaten to unravel decades of organizing for climate justice ~ we must turn our collective grief and frustration into bold\, state-level action. This is our moment to push for real solutions and dialogue with our elected officials to ensure that Indigenous rights and climate justice remain top priorities in Minnesota!\n\nInside the Capitol: Legislative Meetings & Advocacy\nThroughout the day we’ll engage directly with legislators in scheduled meetings to ask for a “Yes” vote on critical climate legislation including the Wild Rice Act (SF 1246)\, 100% eWaste Collection & Recycling Bill and others from the Rise & Repair alliance platform (RiseAndRepair.org/platform).\nWhether you’re an experienced advocate or new to this work\, you’ll be supported in making your voice heard. Organizers with the Rise & Repair Alliance will be scheduling these meetings based on constituents in each district who RSVP at RiseAndRepair.org/rally.\n\nPeople Power ~ Rally in the Rotunda! (1:15-2pm)As scheduled visits are happen across the capitol complex\, we’ll assemble in the rotunda for a rally to amplify our message ~ Minnesota’s legislature must take bold action for climate justice and do so with the guidance\, wisdom\, and direction of Indigenous relatives who have always been\, and will forever be\, the caretakers of these lands.\n\nSCHEDULE & HOW TO PARTICIPATE\nFull Day Engagement:10:00 AM – Advocacy training\, prep session\, and morning coffee at Christ on Capitol Hill (105 University Ave W\, across from the Capitol)11:45a – 12:20p – Light lunch served before walking across the street to CapitolLegislative visits throughout the day pending legislator schedules (most 2-4pm)Joining us for the Rally:12:45 PM – Assemble on the Capitol steps1:15–2:00 PM – Rally in the Rotunda!!\nNow is the time to dig deep\, unite\, and push for the change we know is possible. When we stand together\, we are a powerful force capable of accomplishing what this moment demands. We have the power to protect wild rice\, freshwater\, and biodiversity—our sacred life sources that need our care now more than ever. Let’s move forward with hope\, resilience\, and the strength of our collective will.\n\nRSVP & Learn More: RiseAndRepair.org/rally
