Rally for Parks and Conservation
Environmental Day at the Capitol
Monday, February 1, 2010
10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Arizona House of Representatives lawn
1700 W. Washington St., Phoenix
What you’ve heard is true: the legislature is devastating parks funding, forcing more closures. We need to speak up for Parks! Join us on Monday, February 1, 2010 for Environmental Day at the Arizona State Capitol, located at 1700 W. Washington in Phoenix. We’ll have a brief program on the House Lawn. Speakers will focus on the devastation to parks and environmental programs from the last legislative session and let us know how we can turn the tide.
Bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy while listening to the speakers. We’ll provide tables and chairs, drinks, and cookies for dessert. We’ll try to time it so we can go inside and be introduced from the floor as a group. Let’s try to make a strong showing.
We also encourage everyone to attend committee hearings and meet with individual legislators. Hearings for the House and Senate Natural Resource committees meet that afternoon. The best time to meet with legislators is prior to 11 a.m. or after 1 p.m. We can help you set up appointments, give you information on how to set them up, provide background information, and also team you up with someone, if that is your preference. It is important that they hear from you. No experience is needed – just enthusiasm and a willingness to speak up. For more information or to RSVP contact Janice Miano at (602) 528-7500 or [email protected] or Sandy Bahr at (602) 253-8633 or [email protected]
Please let us know if you plan to attend, so we can be sure and have enough packets, snacks, and drinks.
