You're Invited to Join the Conversation on Climate

Dear Neighbors,

I hope this email finds you well.

Earlier this fall, I participated in a climate community event in Apple Valley hosted by Conservation Minnesota. It was great to engage with so many residents seeking solutions on action we can take in order to slow the effects of climate change.

Given the widespread interest on climate in our community, I thought you and other neighbors might be interested in attending a public meeting the Climate Action Caucus is hosting on Wednesday from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in St. Paul at the State Office Building, Room 5.

It will be a time to hear from health experts on climate and start a much-needed discussion on future policy as we look to the 2020 legislative session. The meeting is free and open to the public. RSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/547233076066571/ 

Testifiers include: 

1. Kristin Raab (MDH)
2. Bruce Snyder (Health Professionals for a Healthy Climate)
3. Teddie Potter (UMN School of Nursing)
4. J. Drake Hamilton (Fresh Energy)
5. Eleanor Dolan (Youth Climate Strike)

Please contact me anytime with questions or feedback at 651-296-5506 or by email at rep.robert.bierman@house.mn. I value your input!

Sincerely,

Robert Bierman

State Representative
