Hosted by MSP NOW
Thursday, 17 January 2019 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Black Dog Cafe, 308 E Prince St, St Paul, MN 55101

But how do we do that? How do we track a bill's progress, and how can we help drive what we want forward? What does this part of the process look like, and what kind of power can individual citizen activists wield? And how can we wield it most effectively?
Great questions. And our fantastic panelists will have even better answers. See you soon.
