Great Lakes Day 2025
Each year in March Great Lakes advocates join us in Washington, D.C. to share their stories with Members of Congress. State organizers in each Great Lakes state pull together individuals that can collectively tell the story of restoration success, drinking water investment need, and the importance of climate action and environmental justice.
