Hosted by the Alabama Rivers Alliance
Help protect our right to clean, healthy waters by participating in the second annual River Action Day on Tuesday, April 8 at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery. Celebrate Rivers of Alabama Day and join the Alabama Rivers Alliance and fellow activists from around the state to meet with legislators and promote legislation and programs that protect water health. Developed by citizens to improve water quality and quantity through changes in state policy, the Alabama Water Agenda will again be a main focal point of the day’s activities.
Participants will receive copies of the Agenda to distribute to their state senator and representative. Environmental leaders will provide an update on current environmental legislation and a training session on lobbying. A catered lunch will be provided as well as a commemorative t-shirt. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. and the event will begin at 10 a.m. and is expected to conclude at 3:00 p.m. Register on-line at www.AlabamaWaterAgenda.com or contact April Hall at ahall@alabamarivers.org or 205-322-6395. Carpooling opportunities will be available. Please register by Friday March 28 if you would like to receive your t-shirt via mail in advance of the event (quantities are limited). The 2008 River Action Day is sponsored by the Alabama Environmental Council, the Alabama Chapter of the Sierra Club, the Alabama Rivers Alliance, Conservation Alabama, Southern Environmental Law Center, and WildSouth.
River Action Day will be held in the auditorium of the Capitol at 600 Dexter Avenue. You can enter from the Union Street entrance. Visitations with legislators will be in the Alabama State House, 11 South Union St., just across Union St. from the east side of the capitol.
