The League of Women Voters St. Paul (LWVSP) is pleased to welcome U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum for its upcoming April Learn with the League program.

“Betty McCollum is in the House: Advocacy for the Mississippi River on Earth Day" is a special online program at 12:00pm on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Congresswoman McCollum (DFL-Minn.) will discuss the Mississippi River Restoration and Resilience Initiative (MRRRI) and address the current state of the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as other issues related to climate policy and environmentalism. McCollum and Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) have introduced MRRRI in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate, legislation to establish a non-regulatory initiative that will coordinate restoration and resilience opportunities up and down the Mississippi River corridor. The initiative is modeled around the successful and broadly-supported Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI).

This will be a virtual event. Interested participants can register on Zoom at this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_U-ipnWPWS8yBOOqToaA31g

The Zoom webinar will be closed captioned and also rebroadcast through program partners, SCCTV and SPNN and hosted on the LWVSP YouTube channel 24 hours after the event.
