2025 MN Literacy Day at the Capitol
April 18, 2025
Are you Attending MN Literacy Day on Thursday?

Would you like to talk to a MN Legislative Educational Committee Member with us after the Rally?
We are looking for people that would like to be a part of a small group along with a Lead, that will meet with a legislator from the education committees.
Appointments will be set up right after the rally. You will meet at the base of the stairs where the group photo was taken at the beginning of the morning. Our Leads will be waving flags for you to find them. We have talking points ready for your group and Lead to decide the angle you would like to take. These will be short meetings.
RSVP if you are interested.
