Minnesota Farmers Union (MFU) is excited to welcome our family farmer members to the State Capitol for our annual, in-person Lobby Day Drive-in on Tuesday, February 4th. We plan to start at 10:00am and end the day with an evening legislative reception from 4:30-7:00pm at Farmers Kitchen + Bar (750 S 2nd St Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55401).
We are looking forward to a Lobby Day that helps members build relationships with policymakers, demonstrates our collective power, and helps policymakers better understand the needs of farmers and rural communities. Your advocacy will help legislators enact policies that make healthcare more affordable, promote competitive markets, expand local and regional processing, promote climate resilience, and otherwise promote an agriculture economy that is distributed, resilient, and fair.
Contact Stu Lourey, Government Relations Director, with any questions: (320) 232-3047, stu@mfu.org
For MFU staff to schedule meeting with your legislative representatives, please RSVP by Friday, January 24.
