On the second annual ‘Minnesota Water Action Day,’ a coalition of water-focused groups rallied support at the Minnesota State Capitol for clean, healthy water. During the May 2 event, attendees met with their legislators to discuss water issues in Minnesota and advocate for policies that protect our water. This was followed by a rally in the Capitol Rotunda. The day started with morning briefings for participants on how to actively engage legislators and on Minnesota’s water issues. EMA sent a delegation of volunteers to keep participants supplied with coffee and bagels.

#ProtectOurWater!
Keeping the hungry crowds fed at Water Action Day.
The coffee ran out, but a riot was avoided.
It wasn’t all seriousness.
