Join us for Capitol Conservation Day with our Georgia Water Coalition partners and take action for Georgia waterways! This year, we’re advocating for permanent protections for the Okefenokee Swamp and a Forever Chemicals Transparency Act to safeguard against toxic PFAS contamination.
The day begins with a continental breakfast, orientation, and issue briefings at Central Presbyterian Church. Then, we’ll walk across the street to the Capitol for a group photo and meet with legislators to push for these critical protections.
This event is for everyone—you don’t need to be an experienced activist to make a difference! Be part of this powerful day of advocacy. Learn more and register below.
