The Coalition Kicks off its Winter Advocacy Skill Share Series!

On January 30, 2015 the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition will be holding the first skill share in a series of workshops aimed at supporting volunteers that wish to dive deeper into community and city-level advocacy. Navigating the City will be held from 10:30am to 12:30pm at The Wedge Table, 2414 Nicollet Avenue South, Minneapolis. We’ll tackle questions such as: Who's in charge of street stuff at the City? When do I contact my City Council Member vs. the Bicycle & Pedestrian Coordinator vs. Public Works? I made an appointment to talk to my representative, now what? And wait, what does the county have to do with this??
