Zoom Community Meeting
Defending Wild Rice And Our Collective Futures
by Leanna Goose - Rise and Repair Alliance Organizer
This presentation will focus on defending the sulfate standard and the reactive mine waste rule, the bedrock environmental protections for freshwater and manoomin (wild rice), within our state through positive advocacy at the Minnesota Capitol. Leanna will explain the work the Rise and Repair Alliance is advancing to keep the legislature focused on creating stronger protections rather than stripping away current protections. She will share ways that the public can get involved and stand together to protect wild rice, freshwater, and life within our state; like humans, manoomin requires clean water to thrive.
Leanna is an Anishinaabe mother, a researcher, and an organizer. Her work focuses on protecting water and wild rice for the next generations. Her work within the Rise and Repair Alliance space involves organizing with organizations and community groups to advance our state towards climate justice while protecting Indigenous rights.
